I believe the 15-91 is a low shank machine, so they should be readily available. :) Please someone correct me if I'm mistaken...
Happy Treadler welcome! And, you are absolutely correct about needing a low shank darning/hopping foot! Those feet are very easy to find for the 15's. That is what is so nice about that machine - easy to find feet, easy to find needles, and bobbins!

Do I recall correctly that the 15's use the same bobbins as the Featherweight? If yes then I surmise the same low shank feet too? Hopefully yes because I have a Featherweight. Bobbins - check. Walking foot - check. Darning/hopping foot? Don't think so. Where are some of these easy to find feet? Oh - and needles - what ones does the 15-91 take?
