I hope this makes sense, I need a presser foot for my new to me treadle. The feet screw from the back. I never had one like that. It has the standard one on it, I need one that is 1/4" from the edge if possible. Where can I purchase this? Sandy

Congratulations on getting a cool machine

What Steve said. It takes what is known as back clamp feet. I don't know that you'll find a modern 1/4" foot to fit it. Back clamp style attachments do show up on Ebay from time to time. I've seen them mixed in with other attachments before too so it pays to pay attention.

EDIT: All I've ever used for piecing is the standard foot and a seam guide set for 1/4" from the needle.

Sandy, I have a 66-1 also and as far as I know there is no 1/4" foot for the back clamp version. When I use mine I use the bed mounted fabric guide and measure 1/4" from the needle to the edge of the guide. Joe

Thanks, I think there is one of those seam guides in with the attachments. I will have to see. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks a bunch.

Sandy,

There's a couple pics of how I do it in this thread: { http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...t-t250275.html } on the first page in case you missed it and I didn't make it clear enough.

Thanks Joe, that is a good way to set the seam guide.
