High Shank walking foot
I brought a high shank walking foot years ago and didn't realize at the time I needed a low shank walking foot for my Necchi sewing machine. Can anyone tell me what sewing machines use a high shank walking foot. I maybe selling this walking foot on this board. But before I do I needed to know what machines use this. Thanks for any feedback.

I recently bought several low shank feet, thinking I would use them on my Janome 110000SE. But it turns out that one is a high shank machine. I'm taking my Baby Lock Sophia up north with me this spring so that I can use them, since that is a low shank machine.

Some of the Kenmores from the 60's and 70's and most industrial machines use the high shank attachments.
shanfurino, there are a couple of problems you may run into if you try to put an even feed on a high-shank Kenmore from that era - the attachment system that has the lever to loosen and tighten the attachments makes it difficult (maybe impossible) to use a modern even-feed type attachment.
I bought an even feed for my 1803 from the 70's - super-high shank - and the extra long screw you need on some models. But, I can't get around the attachment system, itself, so the foot is still sitting in the drawer several years later.
