I also bought the sure foot ruler foot/open toe foot that is available for the sw 16. Fit my machine perfectly.
Can you please tell me where you were able to find the ruler foot for your Platinum 16 machine? I asked my dealer about one and he told me the foot that came on the machine was the ruler foot I was to use. I've had quilting rulers slip over the foot and get jammed under the needle.
