Thanks to each and every one of you who took the time to share thoughts and links. I now have several approaches to try. First, I think I'll root through all the accessories that have come with the many vintage machines Miss Penny and I own to see if perhaps there's a fence or factory wide foot that will fit my machine. Second, I'll try the thicker tape approach and third, if there's no other option I'll wrench open my billfold, blow out the dust and cobwebs and spend some money to get a new wider foot as described. Unfortunately for me though, this is a holiday week and some businesses are closing up. This is a wonderful group of folks. Don
