Most likely, yes. However, there are several brands of rulers and ruler feet so be sure to do your research. It is important that the rulers be thick enough that the foot will not allow the ruler to slip underneath or you will have a big collision between the needle and ruler. A lot of quilters like the Westalee brand. You can verify with the ruler foot vendor if it will work on your machine before your purchase.
Which machine? If it is a domestic sewing machine, you will most likely ruin it sewing heavy canvas. (Don't be confused if the maker says it's "heavy duty." Heavy duty domestics are no different than other domestics--it's just a fancy name to make you think it's heavy duty.) A real heavy-duty machine would be an industrial machine.
The term "heavy duty" sewing machine is thrown about loosely lately. There are new machines (including Pfaff, Singer, etc) for sale advertised as "heavy duty," but I would be hesitant to stitch denim jean hems on them. The Pfaff 807, which appears to be an older mechanical, is probably more "heavy duty" than some newer machines on the market. However, "heavy duty" does not mean that you can sew big canvas sailcloth or heavy upholstery projects. A domestic machine (which the Pfaff 807 is) is really meant for general domestic sewing. If you want to sew "heavy duty" fabric, then look to an industrial machine. Remember that frequent sewing of heavy fabric takes a toll on a domestic machine, ie the motor, needlebar, other working parts, thus hastening the demise of your machine and the more frequent need for service & repair.
Domestic machines are not made to run at contsant high speed for long periods of time, the chances are the machine will give before the motor and then the strain of the mahine will burn the motor out, they are made purely for domestic use, stop and start, a lot of people use them for doing outdoor work much to their cost
I found a manual for Domestic rotary by googling Domestic rotary Manual - got a copy of an original old one - try: http://www.clawges.com/sewing/domestic_rotary/index.html
When you have the embroidery unit connected to the machine, you must have the foot pedal cord disconnected. Then it should work. As for using this machine for normal sewing, yes, it is supposed to do that. Unless you get a lemon like mine. It lost reverse, and only takes long stitches. Hopefully your luck is better than mine with this Disney "thing".
