That is an interesting observation. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the side that loop is on (based on which side the flat of the needle is). I know there is a different narrow hemmer that was for the vintage low shank machines. While they will work on all, it was better stitching with the one that was meant for the designated machine. I wondered why the difference and figured that it was the direction the needle was threaded. I'm wondering if 221, 201, 15-90 or 15-91 would work better on the anti-clockwise corner????
