Yes. You want short (or low) shank feet. When I started playing with vintage machines last fall figuring out the basics like which attachments fit my machine was a real pain. This should make things a bit more clear.

While any short shank foot will fit, I would keep in mind the width of the Featherweight feed dogs. The FW, like all straight stitchers, will have narrower feed dogs than zig-zag machines. So a short shank foot designed for a zz machine will fit on the needlebar but not perform as well because it doesn't contact the feed dogs properly.

I have two featherweights and I just bought a 1/4" foot from s web site, google 221 parts. This foot was $12.95and other sites had it for $29.99 and I also bought hinges for my black box, one was missing and these were $12.95 the shipping was $3.95, a great site.

Cool...
Thanks so much to everyone for the information.
I would really like to get a Style-O-Matic foot, I hear that these are hard to find.
I am going to try some local antique shops and hopefully will find some feet there.
Ebay had on for $449.00 OUCH! Tooooooooooo rich for my blood.
This looks like a Do-It-All foot!

Great Info...
I have an old Singer 95-1 that is a workhorse, I have had it for about 40 years, my mom had it for who knows how long before that, but it uses high shank feet, so none of them fit.
