I think the part number is 32559. I'm using a shirt tail hemmer for the measurement. I really am anxious to get my treadle machine going so that I can use it. This is the only vintage machine that I have so far. If anyone could tell me where I might find this foot, I would greatly appreciate it.
My 66 also uses back clamping feet, but I only have one of the foot you are looking for-- the one I use the most on the machine! Those feet are hard to come by. If you want to keep your machine original, you may have to be patient and check ebay regularly, and talk to as many vintage sewing machine repair people as you can find. Many people have changed out the pressure foot bar to take the more available side-clamping feet, for this reason. That's another option you have.
Good luck-- I hope you are able to treadle on your machine soon. You will absolutely love it.
I have a wonderful sew shop that has BUCKETS of old Singer feet. She often gives them to me for FREE. I'll double check with her to see if she's got any back clamping feet. Just another excuse to go see the shop!
Wow, it would be great if she has one. There's a presser foot bar on ebay but it's from a 99. Says it will fit a 66 too but I have no idea.
