You can read about the conversion at www.treadleon.net I saw it there this evening. I am not sure I fully understand it but will read it again and then decide if I want to do it.
I understand these back clamping parts were only on a few machines and then Singer realized people did not care for them and they stopped.
Good luck!

Do they make these for my machine to accomodate the latest type of quilting on a machine if you know what I mean?
I bought a walking foot that I can use on my Featherweight for example.
I hope this pic comes through.
Whoa! That's a real beauty! I just bought a red eye that has the back clamping feet, too, but I didn't know they were scarce :shock: . I have read, somewhere, that you can switch the needlebar so that it is the kind that accepts the side clamping feet. Not sure how hard it would be to do.[/quote]
