I need to buy two feet for my Kenmore for a machine quilting class I'm taking. I just had to move my sewing room and, of course, now cannot find my manual for this machine (I'm continuing to look for it). I have gone on-line to try and research my problem. Can you tell, just by looking at the pictures, if my machine is a low or high shank? I've never understood the difference. This machine was purchased in approx. 1981.

You have a low shank machine

Thank you, fktsewing. How can you tell?

Low shank feet are about a half inch tall, high shank feet are about one inch tall and only Singer used slant shank feet.

Here's how to measure the shank:

Do the snap on feet use a low shank walking foot?
