What do you think could that cause the fabric not to move through?
The 66-1 and 66-3 are their own critters. Singer decided to try out the W&W style of foot on their machines after the buy out. The 9W had the W&W feet on them but thats because they started out with their castings and then modified them to fit into the Singer cabinets. Wheeler and Wilson was a huge acquisition for Singer and since they were a major player in the sewing world prior to the buy out the company decided to try out the rear clamping feet on one of their models. Well Singer was a lot like Ford at the time and they loved the fact that you could interchange a lot of their parts so they axed the back clamp style of foot.
Finding them are not fun I will say that, and when you do have your checkbook ready. If the seller knows what they have you will feel it! The eBay auction for the set of attachments is less than what the plain straight stitch foot would go for.
