The 1914 is a super high shank machine. It is also left homing, which means that you can’t use any of the quarter inch feet on the market since these are designed to be used for a center needle position. If it has a good selection of the super high shank feet, then there is really no advantage to getting an adaptor to allow it to use low shank feet. The super high shank feet that work with this machine are wonderful and they change out quickly without needing a screwdriver (similar to Bernina).

There is a fellow (James Rogers) on youtube who shows a way to jury rig the needle position in a 1914 so it will sew a straight stitch in the center needle position. I haven’t tried his method yet since I use mine for things other than piecing.
