I have a Singer 15-91 and, of course, I want to find various and interesting presser feet/attachments for it.

Will vintage feet advertised for the models such as 66 99 127 128 201 221 222k 185 192 fit on my 15-91?

My Pfaff 130 came with a box full of presser feet marked "Pfaff" and various numbers. Will they work on the 15-91, too?

Q: Will vintage feet advertised for the models such as 66 99 127 128 201 221 222k 185 192 fit on my 15-91?
A: Yes, all the machines you mentioned are low shank, side clamp machines.

Q: My Pfaff 130 came with a box full of presser feet marked "Pfaff" and various numbers. Will they work on the 15-91, too?
A: Maybe. I have some that do fit the low shank machines. I don't know about all of them.

Easiest way to find out is try them on and see how they line up.

Why are you asking if you own both machines? Just try the feet and see if they work.

The 130 is a zig zag machine and the 15-91 being a straight stitch, the Pfaff feet are probably going to be a bit wide to really give a good result with the narrow feed dogs on the 15-91 even though they are short shank machines.

Hi Paoberle, I know my request probably sounds odd. We're living through an unending remodel job right now. I have my machines and accessories sealed and packed away to keep them safe from the sawdust, drywall dust, and all the other "dusts" that come with tearing out walls, replacing windows, building closets, and sanding hardwood floors.

I have an iPod app that tracts all the presser feet, accessories, tools, gizmos, etc. that I own; it prevents me from getting doubles if I find a vintage foot for sale at a thrift store or on line.

I can't wait to have all the living room furniture out of my small sewing room, and all my sewing items unsealed and available again. Until then, I'm using this site to keep feeling the joy of my machines, quilting, and crafty sewing.

Mitch's Mom - Should a properly sized presser foot just cover the area of the feed dogs?

Rodney

What's wrong with doubles?

The question to Mitch's Mom: Yes. Too wide of foot can cause incorrect contact with the feed dogs resulting in uneven feeding.

This has been very good for me to read-- I didn't realize that many feet are interchangeable! I figured each machine had to have special feet made just for that specific model! Whee! Happy news for me! (I would have been afraid I might hurt one of my machines with just experimenting with feet!)

Thank you!

LOL at Rodney. You're not helping my "less is more" philosophy for reducing excess and fitting all my items from a larger sewing room into a smaller sewing room.

I probably would pick up a duplicate vintage foot or bobbin - if I'm lucky enough to find any here in the land of few re-sell businesses. I could always share them fellow vintage lovers, now that I know where they hang out.

I am not sure about the older machines but my Pfaff has like a 9 mm throat plate/space - where my Brother, Kenmore and Morse machines are 7 mm. I ended up with an extra "snap-on" shank and have found that it fits and I can use it on all but the Pfaff, which allows me to use just about all of the other feet (except Pfaff) on any of the other machines. In fact I got one of those packs of 32 generic feet from Amazon. I have found that my Pfaff has heavier feet and hard to match up with anything else, and she is fussy. Just my experience. I did find I needed to adjust the spring tension on top a little on the old Kenmore and the old Morse as to pressure put right on the sewing. The main thing is when you are trying to use a foot you are not sure of that you turn the hand wheel by hand slowly and gently test that it will clear okay in the throat plate for sewing. That way at the slightest resistance, you can stop!! :-)
