Vintage Singer Flat Felled Foot for Binding a Quilt
HI:
Last week I was in Las Vegas with my sewing tutor. She kindly was able to provide me with an inexpensive relatively new Singer. I was very excited to learn a new technique: using a Viking 8mm. flat fell foot attached with an ankle adaptor to the Singer. I was able to create a gorgeous hem with this technique. I was in heaven sewing with my new knowledge...so much fun!!! Recently, a contributor mentioned using a flat fell foot to finish a quilt binding. The person even referred to http://awomanaday.com/2013/01/17/hap...nding-edition/ Now I am hoping to combine my recent flat fell foot knowledge and use my vintage Singer 15 to finish a quilt binding. I have been searching to discover the largest flat fell foot available with a Singer 15 to bind a quilt. This is my new search. Any suggestions? I have one but its probably only a 1/4 in. I saw an industrial size 8mm. flat fell foot (side clamp model). The ad info did not mention a Singer 15. Would this work on a Singer 15? On Ebay I also saw an extra larger "compensating presser foot" that would fit a Singer 15. Could this also be used to bind a quilt? Thanks, Kathy |
I can't help but wanted to welcome you to the group. It sounds like you are having fun learning to sew, it is a great thing to do and learn. Have fun.
I just looked over the binding with the flat fell foot and it looks really interesting. I would be willing to give that a try once I find a foot to use. Thank you so much for that link. I had never heard of that before. |
Ther are feet that fit the different lengths on the shank. You have a short shank machine with a Singer 15. An industrial machine could be a high shank. You will need to educate yourself about the differences before you buy.

Welcome Kathy, thanks for sharing great tutorial. I love hand stitching binding but some times I need to use the machine.
I will look at some of my attachments. HelenAnn |
Miriam thanks for the info. I can use my Necchi Mira BU with the industrial size flat fell foot. That is great news!!! I do know the difference between high & low shank. I love my Necchi.
However, I am still wondering what would be the "widest" flat fell foot available for a Singer 15? Thanks, Kathy |
