Can someone tell me which snap on foot adapter I need for my Singer 66-16? It seems like I have been all over the internet and can't find a clear answer. I think I need old type low shank. There are 2 parts numbers for this - 155964 and 446014-1.
If someone can tell me for sure, I would really appreciate it!

The 66's did not come with the snap on feet. They came with the solid hinged ones.
Is there a reason you want to go with the snap on feet? The original types are still available.


However, as I understand back in the 70s or perhaps earlier Singer came out with the snap on feet with the narrow ankle. Then some time later the wide ankle ones came out and now every one uses that style.
The wider ones are better in my opinion based on my experience because they don't wobble and twist like the old style ones with the thin ankle.
In actually I have quite a few machines, and I'm replacing all the snap ons with solid feet as I can. The solid feet work better for me.

If you really want snap on feet, I'd suggest the wide universal one. Either will fit and work on the 66 but like I said, the wider ones work better. And you can buy feet to fit the wide adapters just about anywhere.

They didn't come with snap on feet. What I am looking at is an adapter that makes it so you can use snap on feet with the old Singers. I have 2 reasons for wanting to do this. I want to be able to use a 1/4" foot for piecing. I also already have many snap on feet that I use on my Pfaff that I think I can use on the 66-16 if I have an adapter.

Well then you're one stop shopping center awaits you: Sew-Clasic.com http://www.shop.sew-classic.com/Low-...-SCF5011-1.htm
This is the wide universal adapter. She also has kits with the adapter and feet and individual feet as well.

The feed dogs on each machine determine which feet work best on a machine. The original feet for any machine were designed to work well with the feed dogs on that machine, but other feet can work well too. Place your snap-on Pfaff feet on top of the 66-16 feed dogs and see how they line up with each other. If the feed dog teeth have a solid surface of the foot directly over them, the foot will probably work ok on that machine. If the foot surface is wider or more narrow than the feed dog teeth, your fabric may not feed well.
