The others are at an angle that makes it difficult to determine. I think the zipper foot might be a slant shank ( yes is slant, but seems to have the thunbscrew on its own little shank downwards so results the foot not touching my plate) .

There is a list of a lot of the Singer part numbers at https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/simanco_accessories. bingo https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/simanco/161195 I looked on the hemmer foot, for the number, (helps if one knows the part number first), but "slant" is in the description (great), shame it is 5/32" , but at least I now know 5/32" means its too large, so process of elimination has begun (Note to self, just need to find out the right imperial number).


Another source that would probably be helpful would be https://web.archive.org/web/20190727.../IPpartCharts/ probably 404-1_4_5 Site is working, and you found the only one that seems to be applicable, me in my dyslexic mess clicked all over the place (mainly industrials ?), Three of the scaned pages does have some relevant numbers, but difficult to see the picture, but definitively has lots and lots and LOTS of numbers there , the zipper foot has 6 sets of numbers alone !

https://web.archive.org/web/20190823...tCharts/4_4999 any of the first three (looks hopeful but seems to be off line at moment).

I also found another 411 manual at https://danhopgood.files.wordpress.c...anual-med3.pdf this is better quality "411 User Manual" than offered by singer themselves, clear and sharp focus, credit goes to Dan the best quality scan (of any 400 class document) I've seen anywhere!

For hemming jeans, you are better off using just a regular foot as the denim is too thick to go through the hemmers. Another thing about hemming jeans when you come to a seam, you may have problems. Sometimes it helps to put something under the back of the foot to make it even with the height of what you going over (Thanks i looked and saw a person use a wedge on youtube this morning, I'll copy today) . I have sometimes turn the hand wheel to go over and sometimes that doesn't work either. It also has been suggested to hammer (As ex-carpenter I've got hammers ) the seams to make them thinner.
