Singer 301A darning foot?

Her sewing room is the entire house. We kicked the couch and coffee table out several years ago, and filled the dining/living room areas with her sewing machines, set up in a U-shape as pictured. We kept two recliners and the dining table. We didn’t “entertain” much before, and when we did, everyone usually ended up stuffed into a small back bedroom that used to be the sewing room.
Since the change, when we entertain now, folks just have to beat us to a recliner or set on a sewing machine stool. And, if they want a magazine to leaf through, they’ll have to settle for a sewing machine User Guide these days.....
We used to have a living room that was seldom used, and now we have a sewing room that we spend most of our time living in!

This issue is another reason I love using a knee lever instead of a foot controller. It's much easier to hold my leg still at a steady speed for any length of time than it is my foot. I have a cabinet for my Singers equipped with a knee lever and one for my Brothers or other Japanese machines.

I like that, CD - I believe in living in my house the way I want to which is not necessarily how it was designed to be used. My living room is my sewing room and I have several sewing stations set up for different things.
The first time our house sitter came over, she looked around at that room and asked, "How many people work here?"

I got a knee lever with my 15-90 I got from CL. However, the seller had no idea it was there (machine had been her mother's) amd therefor there was no mention in the ad. In fact, in the several months where I was checking CL daily, I don't remember ever seeing a DSM with that in the description. Seems most ofthe sellers are those who don't know the details of what they have (and often do not know what to take pictures of).

Question about feet. I have these two vintage ones for the slants. They have the same number on them and are both made in Great Britain. But you can see they are different and the one on the top works and the other one doesn't. That part that goes over the needle clamp is a different size.
