Questions & Answers
Even Feed Foot for low shank sewing machines can be used with most SINGER sewing machines. Because the machine you're looking at has a low shank, this foot will work with it.
My ignorance of a low shank was further increased when I read that in the description. Using Google, I found answers to my questions. A possible answer can be found below. There are no problems fitting the foot on my inexpensive Singer machine from about six years ago. In general, there are two ways to attach pressing feet. If your machine has feet that snap on to the shank, do not worry about the shank size. However, if your machine is older, you will need to measure the distance between the bottom of the In order to determine whether a machine is low shank or not, it is measured in The majority of sewing machines, especially those designed for home use, have a low shank. Due to their purpose of creating machines for consumers and hobbyists, low shank machines usually have a large variety of presser feet available. The measurement for a high shank machine is between 1 1/4 inches and 1 3/8 In general, high shanks are found on industrial machines, but they can be found on a few home models such as the Kenmore, Necchi and other quilting machines as well.
When you refer to heavy duty, do you mean a singer 15-pounds and over In the late 90s or mid-15s There is a yes in 91. In addition to making my sons and grandson fleece jackets, I found the walking foot to be very useful when sewing fleece materials.
The parent company of Singer is Husqvarna Viking. The feet are compatible with each other in most cases. When you ask your dealer if they offer a generic walking foot for about $32, and they say it will fit your machine, then yes, this one will likely fit because it is the same thing that they are pulling from a drawer and selling for a price higher ($32 plus local taxes).

This Singer Even Feed Foot for Low Shank Machines was supposed to arrive in a genuine Singer accessory carded blister pack, but the information on this item is incorrect. There was no obvious packaging it simply came in a little blue box with a label on the back that listed the part number and the word "new. ". On the actual part there was a Singer label, but on the packaging it was definitely not Singer. Due to my tradition of using branded parts on my Singer machine, I paid more for a "Singer" part. I haven't decided whether I will return it and purchase from a Singer parts supplier. I have no guarantee that the part was not refurbished or relabeled since the packaging was not genuine. Despite my best efforts, I'm not pleased with myself.
This is the first image that shows what works. On eBay, a cheap Taiwan knockoff (remember the box) was purchased that did not function despite the seller claiming it to be I could not even have my favorite engineer attach it to one of my vintage Singer low (short) shank machines! -**My apologies for not photographing the packaging from the real thing, but you should be satisfied as long as your item looks like the image pictured in the 1st image. Before installing this attachment, here are a few things to keep in mind It is imperative that you remove the thread cutter (I placed it directly under the fabric swatch in the first image just to give you a visual as to how it looks) or it makes a knocking noise when the needle bar moves up and down. Most of the older models have thread cutters that simply fall off the pressure foot bar. The second step is to always lower the needle into the fabric, lower the presser foot, and then hold the thread tails while When it comes to sewing with the attachment or sewing in general, this is the best method. Lastly, this vintage attachment would have received a "5 Star" if it weren't mostly plastic, unlike my other vintage pieces.
A blue box that is clearly a knockoff indicates that it is Singer, but it is clearly an imitation.
No problems were encountered with my singer walking foot that came with the machine. The one I bought is a total trash! I lost it during a move and purchased this one. Not sure if I got a bad one or not. I have used it for one month and the results are Work is sloppy, feeding is uneven, and the feed is poorly balanced. This allegedly looks like an imitation walking foot, but I wonder if it is a real one. Please beware, this foot is not working as it should, and it looks like it is as well. My results are better when I have regular feet. In the near future, I will buy a walking foot from an authorized singer dealer.
Buy this item at your own risk. This part has been inside the return window since I received it and did not use it for a few weeks. I was able to mount this easily. However, I noticed that the part that holds it on is plastic as I was screwing in the screw. It was at that point a concern of mine that it would not last. I had no idea what I was doing! almost finished quilting a baby quilt, and all along the even feed didn't work. I kept getting ripples and had to yank the fabric through at the beginning. I will grant you I am not an avid seamstress, and this may account for However, I was very thankful that I wear glasses, because all of a sudden the plastic securing the foot to the machine popped off and flew right into my face and left me with major eye damage. It is not necessary to say that I went back to my regular foot after this and it was doing much better and I would never recommend this product until the mounting holes were stronger.
I was stitching in the ditch on my quilt sandwich within seconds of installation. (Am I sounding more like a quilter? I had completed my project. Now that I am familiar with how easy it is to install and remove, I am eager to start my next project. Definitely worth your time and money.
Recently, I rediscovered my wife's old Singer Simple 2263 sewing machine after she needed it to stitch the hem on the new pants my kid bought for school. Every time you stitched with the regular presser foot, you would always end up with a slight crease in the hem because the inner fabric was pulled more than the top fabric. Someone with more talent can sew a perfect pant leg hem with the regular presser foot, but for me, switching to an even feed foot resolves all issues with the feed and the hem comes out every time. *This foot swap makes the Singer 2263 much easier to use. A few things to note are that the foot does not utilize any mechanical means for knowing when the machine is stitching backwards -- it feeds the same way each time -- this is not a bad thing -- it is just the way they.
