Thanks Billy, My hubby just ordered a universal low shank walking foot for me off the internet. Can't wait :-D Have another question for you. Have a Sears Kenmore Model 1430 zig zag machine. When the foot pedal is used the motor runs but the needle moves not at all or very slowly. Was told to put a phone book on pedal and let it run (15/20 min)when I got it to loosen up the oil.Smelled like it had been over oiled. Hubby said the motor didn't get hot but the wheel on the outside wasn't turning. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks again for your help, Jeanne
