Default Finally can do Free Motion Quilting with my older Kenmore

So excited to have a Free Motion foot for my older Kenmore Sewing Machine. Before this new foot, I was using the button foot to free motion and that worked out pretty good in itself but now I will be using an actual Free Motion/Darning foot.

Cool. Is that a super high shank foot? If so, where did you find it?

Thanks, Rodney. I looked on e-bay and the only "match" that came up was for a high shank, like for a Necchi. I have a couple of versions of those, but I was curious about one for a super high shank for the old Kenmores. I thought they didn't exist so was wondering if I was wrong. I couldn't tell which type was pictured in the OP, but it's likely a low shank which was also common on older Kenmores....but that screw does look like the type on the super high shank.

It looks to me like a low shank foot with an adapter on it.

Yes it is a low shank foot with an adapter added and a screw that goes on the needle bar to support the arm
