If you have a low shank machine, almost any low shank foot will work with it. Joann's has the walking foot hanging on the wall near their Singer sewing machines, and I think they were less than $20.00.

Singer accessories are not made just for one machine. The same seam guide that works for my 1918 Singer treadle works for my 1952 and 1956 Singer e machines and my 1974 Elna. On looking at another manual, it looks like your machine is a slant needle. The number makes sense, too. The Singer 301 and the 400s are slant needle. I don't know about the 500s, but it seems a 347 might be. If that's true, a generic foot will not fit - only a slant needle one. I get my parts from April1930s shop, but sew-classic and others have them, too. Look at this schematic and see which one looks like your machine. It is not a high shank, for sure.

My LQS sells the guide and screw for $4.95. I like it, though it's a bother to swing out of the way when a seam is wider that 1/4".

tngal22, I got an answer from the slantneedle board on Yahoo. Your machine is a regular short shank, so have at any short shank generic feet which are readliy available. If April1930s has anything you need, the FW feet will fit, not he 301. I'd go with sew-classic.com if you need to order online.
