I used Leah day's tutorial to modify a plastic foot and like the results of that. My favorite machine is my 1951 singer 15-91. It does a really nice stitch and is easy for me to speed up and slow down. The machine is in a recessed cabinet so it helps. Otherwise You just need to practice practice practice. It takes time but it's worth it. I am on a limited budget so do not have gloves, bobbin washers or a supreme slider.
