Yup...that's an invisible zipper foot. Don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather put in a regular zipper anyday over an invisible one...I never did master that trick.

still have that foot (all the pieces ) and used it many times - back then sewing fancy dresses paid for extras the "budget" could not or would not cover. Laughing that someone called 1967 old, have to tell my youngest Son that he is one year away from being old.

This looks like the generic one that was sold with different shanks for different machines. Now you can get one specific to you machine. A well installed invisible zipper is a beautiful thing!

Can only be the left one or the right one! LOL!

Your invisible zipper foot brought back fond memories. I now have a metal invisible zipper foot for my Bernina. I don't remember ever having trouble with the old plastic foot; but after years of not putting in invisible zippers, it took me some time to get it right with the metal foot. Now I actually enjoy putting in invisible zippers.

yes, it is foot for applying an invisible zipper. I don't know that it is brand exclusive. I have the same one and it works with my Viking. They came in a package with several plastic versions to fit different machines. One for straight shank, slanted shank and a couple others. I loved the invisible zipper but have set aside all garment making and just quilt now. So my special zipper foot is sitting the bottom of my accessories case, growing old and dusty from lack of use.

The invisible zipper foot. I can remember when this was a very important foot as it made the invisible zipper much easier to put in. Many years ago. LOL

Yes, I too had to have an invisible zipper foot--just never mastered it well enough to make my sewing not look like "I did it myself......"
|
I will have to practice sewing an invisible zipper now... hmmmm
