I have 158-13510, my question is or confusion is I can't figure out if it a high shank or low shank. I do have a site that says they have walking foot for older kenmores.

I want to order either a walking foot or quilting attachment but unsure.

I too wasn't sure about the shank issue. So here goes. If the foot when you take off (unscrew) has a long metal piece on top it is long , short piece, it is a short shank. I finally looked on line at Sears to discover this. I also can't even get my machine to pull up any information on line about it. (Sears site) It's just a 1970 machine & my newer one 1985.
