Presser Foot Screw for Singer 413 needs replacing
Hello all:
The presser foot screw on my 413 constantly loosens while sewing and I need a replacement. A Singer person told me it was the same as on a Featherweight but not so. The Featherweight screw is smaller. Any suggestions? Sally

I wonder if a Fashion Mate screw would be the same as the 413. Several times, I've noticed that the presser foot is loose on my 301, so now I check it frequently. Husband says use loctite. When I asked if that would make it permanent, he said the red loctite would be permanent, but the blue would not. A friend was practicing using a walking foot on an older Kenmore and it kept getting loose until the walking foot broke.

That one has to come in and out every time you change feet. I think it would quickly become a pain to have to keep painting it. I won't recommend over tightening it either. You don't want to damage the threads in the presser foot bar.
Does anyone know if it's the same as other full size Singers of the same time frame like a 401A?
If so, I can check and see if I have a workable replacement. I have a couple machines that are just parts machines at this point. If I have one I''ll send it to you.
