I have a beautiful 221 but rarely used it. Now it is the only machine I have here in Maine. I am used to a 1/4 inch wide foot. Is there a foot fot the featherweight?? I need a lot of practice before I will accurately do a 1/4" allowance just trying to follow the etched line in the plate.

BTW -- I went to a big box store and bought an inexpensive machine for here -- noisy and skipping stitches -- I took it back.

I love the FW but have always used it for classes and general sewing -- so I'm rusty.

Thanks -- Mim

I just found www.sewingpartsonline.com. They seem to have everything.

I wanted a walking foot for my Singer 15-91. I could not tell which one to buy, so I emailed their customer service, and got a very quick response with a link to a specific foot. Ordered it, got it today and it works!

I think Sew-Classic has super prices and service for just about anything you need for your vintage machines.

Here's the page with the low shank feet including two different types of 1/4" foot:

I think I knew about this site but it was so interesting to check out some of the sections. Thanks for reminding us!!

do you have the seam guide for the bed of your machine? I love mine...

I think mine is just a generic low shank foot. Maybe Alpha Sew is the brand. I got it at my local repair shop.

had one of those and I loved using it. some how it is missing now. I'd love to have it now to help GD learn to sew.

I always use my seam guide, it's great.

I'd love to get one myself...last time I looked it was $40! I'll stick with the 1/4" foot for now and save my money for other quilty stuff.
