Feet
1 Attachment(s)
Quick question: I was given a box of attachments and sifted thru them and picked out all the singer ones. In the mix was quite a few Pfaff feet. They look like low shank....are these interchangable on the singer machines which are low shank? Thanks I advance.

Yes, vintage Pfaffs are low shank machines. The feet will work on other low shank machines. There may be a few feet that don't transfer well like a darning foot, but you don't have one of those.

Hmmm, we've got a bunch of Pfaff low shank feet in a grey metal box that look a lot like those. There's a couple feed dog cover plates in there and a bobbin too.
Any way to find out what Pfaff they might be for? http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...e/IMG_3225.jpg Joe |
Joe, many vintage Pfaff models can use those feet and they're pretty much interchangeable. It looks like the case matches the one I have for my 362, but they'd work on most of the Pfaff models. The darning foot can be hard to come by. I don't know why they have darning plates though as the feed dogs drop. I guess it's for those that don't want to do that and just snap on a plate??

Candace,
Thanks for the info. I'll make a note of it for reference. I haven't tried any of these feet yet, kinda thing I should. Joe |
If you don't have a vintage Pfaff hold on to those feet - they will act as bait.

That 5th foot is a Singer Button foot. It belongs to a slant-o-matic though so it won't fit your low shank machines. I'm guessing these are the feet you got from the lady you traded with? She may have mixed a few feet up.
The 2nd 3rd and 6th look like they'd be interchangeable with your low shank machines, but I'd guess you have a drawer full of straight stitch and rolled hem feet already... in fact, if you hadn't said they were Pfaff, I'd have guessed they -were- singer feet. When you put them on, make sure that the needle won't strike the foot in any way, and go for it. I can't tell what 1 and 4 are and 41212 didn't get me anything in a google search. I could swear I've seen #1 before though. |
I'll pop #5 in the mail :)
