I scored a 1935 Singer 15-91 from my Grampa who used to fix sewing machines. It sews great and I am hoping to do my FMQ on it. What foot do you like best on a 15-91for FMQ and why?
Help me spend money! On a side note, I have a Pfaff QE2048 that I just got back from a servicing (to the tune of $98) and found out last night my dang feed dogs are disengaged and now won't drop. I am highly irritated and they will be hearing from me first thing Tuesday AM!! |
I have 2 of them and you don't need a foot to FMQ. Just take off the foot that on there, and make sure the presser bar lifter is in the down position (you have to sew with it down because that's what controls the tension in the needle thread. The feed dogs drop by turning a thumb screw under the machine. Sorry, can't help you spend money on this endeavor! Save it to buy more vintage machines :thumbup:

I too don't use a pressure foot on my 15, works just wonderful without one! I wouldn't spend the money on one!
