Has anyone switched out a White needle bar for a Singer or other to utilize more feet options?
Added picture. See how they attach? They did not make a darning foot or embroidery foot among other things. [ATTACH=CONFIG]500814[/ATTACH]

no they don't - but that is something I want to try to make an adapter for.
What you may find is that even if you swap the presser bar you can't use the other feet because the needle isn't located in the same position in relation to the presser bar. Though something like a hopping or darning foot may not be a big deal as they are wide.
Your best solution may be to by a machine with a Singer presser bar already installed - like a Singer 15. Or buy a later White that takes side clamp feet.
