Featherweight machine
 

Am wondering if anyone has a walking foot for their featherweight machine and where can you purchase them if there Re walking feet that fir the machine? I live in Canada but could also order from the U.S. thanks

I don't know where to get one in Canada but here's where I bought my straight stitch walking foot-

Thankyou for the I fo. I will contact them re a walking foot. Shirley

WOW, I didn't know they made them. Thanks for the post. I pieced the first quilt I made on my Singer treadle many decades ago.

April 1930's has one that fits the FW. I have one and it is great! http://april1930s.com

No help with a supplier in Canada but you can contact this Singer supplier sewvacusa.com or [email protected]. They do have one just for Featherweight.

I have had one for so long, that it'sa mystery where I bought it! Or even when! But it works well. Good luck finding one.

I bought an AlphaSew at JoAnns several years ago. However, I haven't seen one there for a while. I found this one online: http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/wal...herweight.aspx and there are quite a few on eBay if you search for "Singer Featherweight Walking foot."

Hope this helps

I bought my FW walking foot at my Bernina dealer. It not "old" but it does work on the FW.

Why pay more money for something supposedly made "just for a Featherweight"? Feet/accessories for a featherweight are the same ones for most any low shank straight stitch machine. When I see feet on Ebay or other places being sold for just a featherweight, the seller is usually charging more money for a common foot/accessory.

Watch out for thos "just for FW" ads. Cari-in-Oly is right. Just get the lowshank, side clamp one from Sew-Classic.com. Mine works great. It is the 301, slant needle one that has to be designated as "slant" or it WON'T work on a 301 or 5000-503. FWs are easy to fit. Good luck

I bought a generic walking foot for a low shank machine that did not work on my Singer 413. Found a low shank walking foot with Singer name and it works great. It does not work on the Featherweight. Also was given a generic walking foot for the Featherweight the does not work with ease. Have not tried one with the Singer name but it is certain not every walking foot will work even if it says for a Featherweight.

that is high, google featherweight parts, I paid $12.95 for a straight 1/4" foot, I think the site was 221parts.com

I'm in Canada and can get the foot BUT the last one I ordered from the supplier may not have been a proper fit for the featherweight (and possibly other straight stitch machines) the lady put it on as such, I'm not currently recommending or ordering the foot. This is the Alphasew foot specified for straight stitch only machines and the same as the one at Sew Classic and April1930s, etc.

ETA: Note: Admins - Read further - I AM NOT offering to sell anything.

I haven't had the foot in front of me to see if it was user error or not (she had a lot of other questions that let me know she had limited experience sewing and had asked me how to use it and how to install it.). Her complaint was that the foot was sitting too far backward and the needle could hit the foot in front of the needle hole. She broke the foot (by slamming the needle into it repeatedly even though she knew something wasn't fitting) before I could look at it and her machine and make any adjustments.

Personally, I might look for an original Singer walking foot if they're out there and pick up the AlphaSew foot as a last choice. From the cords that I've gotten from them that were split in the moldings and the belt quality lately, I'm advising all of my vintage machine people to stick with the original stuff as long as possible.

I bought one at Hancocks...
