The presser foot holds the fabric in place when you stitch. There are several different types of presser feet depending on what you are sewing. There is a different one for putting in zippers and another for sewing on buttons. The list could go on quite extensively.

Answer two
You can sew using pins to hold the pieces together, but most people use a running stitch called basting with a needle and thread first. It holds the fabric in place without getting in the way of the machine needle.

The seam allowance is needed to allow for extra fabric where separate pieces of fabric are joined together at seams.

When you are sewing or stitching why do you need a seam?
The seam is simply the name of the line that is created when two pieces of fabric are joined together. If you are sewing any two pieces together, the place where they are joined is called the seam. Maybe you are wondering about the seam allowance, which is the amount of fabric alloted to sewing the pieces together. The seam allowance is the distance from the edge you put your line of sewing. In many fabrics that allowance can be very small, but some fabrics require a larger allowance to minimize fraying.
How do you hand piece in quilting?
I usually make a template ( from cardboard ) of the pieces I want to make. [ Example: triangles or squares, of a predetermined pattern. ] I lay the fabric out, wrong side up ( use a sheet of sand paper under the fabric, to keep it from sliding around ), lay the template on the fabric and trace out as many pieces as you will need of that shape and fabric choice. Cut the pieces out, ALLOWING FOR quarter inch seams. Pin the pieces in place, one at a time, and hand sew them together, creating the pattern you have chosen. Time consuming, but well worth it !
