    I am betting the answer is No. Some of the manufactures have feet that are not even interchangble with in the company. Some models take different feet. I have three sisters we all have machines from the same manufacture ..... none of are walking feet will fit the others , same for free motion.
    Mine has a clip at the bottom and unless I use the manufactues feet the needle will hit the foot by about a millimeter.
    I have learned the hard way not to believe when they say "fits all ....."
    It would be nice if they where , I've got big money in my feet ( no not shoes ha ha) , and the idea of buying a new machine and buying all new feet ...... keeps me from buying a new machine,

    Only one way to find out! Give it a try.

    Does it fit? If so, put it on and manually turn the wheel to make sure the needle doesn't hit the foot. If it is okay, sew a few stitches and see what you think.

    I use "universal" feet between several machines. Some work better than others on certain machines but they all fit.

    My singer feet do not fit on my brother machine. The singer is a slant shank and my brother is a short shank. It is a real shame they don't fit. I have a box of feet for my my moms old machine (i still have) and wish i could use them!

    I did buy some snap on feet for a bernina that fit on my brother though.. interesting.

    If the feet that came with your Singer have a narrow snap on shank, you will not be able to interchange them. If it has a screw on and the shank is short.. about 3/4"long overall, then you probably can. However, a simple try out should show you. Does the fabric feed? Does the needle clear the opening?

    Not much else to be concerned about :)
