I have an idea of your dilemma. I have a Kenmore 158 series machine (my only Kenmore) that was gifted to me in a nice cabinet along with all the cams, some feet, and the pedal. I like the machine but, without a small stitch - smallest is 12 to the inch - I am not going to make quilts on it. I made one, and had to go back and sew over every darn seam or I could have back tacked to begin with. I don't want to do that. It is good for decorative stitches, good for clothes, and people on this site have said what good machines these Kenmores are. I almost gave it away and then couldn't, surprising because I fix and give others away. I don't make clothes all that often, and I do have other machines I could use. I haven't tried to line quilt or fmq on it - has anyone done so on a Kenmore?
So I wonder - why is this such a hard machine to let go? Any ideas?

You might also want to check on ebay. There just might be one there and you may get it cheap. However that being said, I would be sure tto check out the serial number or model number that you need for that particular foot, just in case you find one, it is for that machine.
