What's up with these hemmer feet...the 'same' but 'different'
[ATTACH=CONFIG]533107[/ATTACH]I have two hemmer feet that are supposedly the same, but they aren't
Foot #1 is marked 35857, with no other words. It is wider and seems a bit heavier than Foot #2. It is dull nickel color and the clamping area is a bit shorter than Foot #2.
Foot #2 is marked 161671, SINGER, GT. BRITAIN. It has a shiny chrome finish. The needle slot (the area the needle passes through?), is much wider than the slot on Foot #35857.
The #161671 is the hemmer foot recommended for my FM 252 in both the 1971 and 1974 versions of its instructions manual. The #35857 is the foot the shop actually included with the machine.
What is the difference in these two feet?
(It will take me a minute to add photos since they are in my iPod.)
