There is 1/2 inch between the screw and the foot, which makes it a low shank machine. High shanks have 1 inch between screw and foot. Most machines these days are low shank but I do know that Bernina's use their own specialty feet. Measure the distance. I own Singers and a Brother and they both use the same feet.They are low shank machines.

It depends on the shank. This is for a low shank machine. I looked up your machine and is says it is a low shank.

Mine was leveled, are you sure its not your floor? Try positioning under-furniture pads under the machine where its not level.

Here is a link to a video that is titled, "Open Toe Free Motion Spring Foot by HUSQVARNA VIKING" it looks to me that if your machine has this same type ankle/foot that you have a "low shank" you just have to take off the whole ankle not just the foot, that this free motion darning attachment would most likely work. Take a look at this: ( I hope this helps) :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW6spUsn5jM&sns=em

It would work on any low shank but there is a 5mm and a 7mm. It depends on your machine. I had this problem when looking at them. It depends on your feed dogs. Look at your book and it will tell you if they are 7 or 5.

I don't know. If the shank on your machine is low (1/2" from the foot to the thumb-screw) it should. If it's high (1" from the foot to the thumb-screw), it won't. For the price, it's probably worth taking the chance.

I had no problem attaching the shank. Beware. The problem for me was no feet generic or brand name would attach and be functional. Your dealer should provide a free replacement. See if they have the shank in an all metal version.

It sounds like the machine is not quite level. If it is vibrating a lot, you may want to make sure that you have a firm, level surface and that the legs are all secure on the bottom of the machine. They are small, black, and may come loose or move slightly which will create the movement you are experiencing.

It is a low shank, snap on foot. Check you machine manual. Hope this helps.

From what I understand the only thing you have to worry about is if it is a short or long shank. The fact that your machine is electronic should not make a difference.

Lay your machine on it's side and look on the bottom of your machine. That's what I did and there is a sticker with the model and serial number there.

As far as I know, a snap-on foot fits ANY snap-on shank. I interchange them on all of my machine, and even bought a low-shank snap-on for my older machine. It works for me.

I do believe that this ruffler foot is a low-shank, so if your machine has a low-shank you should be ok

Alright, people, this is how you know whether these feet will fit your exact model of sewing machine: 1. If your machine has a short shank, then yes. See the description of the product where it says it is for short shank machines. 2. If your machine has a long shank or a slant shank, then they won't fit. How do you know what kind of shank your machine has? 1. Look it up on one of these nifty charts: https://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/shank_chart1.html or https://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/shank_chart2.html . 2. If your machine isn't on those lists, like the Singer Promise 1408 in the question, then measure your machine manually. Here is a guide on how to measure your machine: http://imagehost.vendio.com/c/10003275/view/1085137796347_feet_info.jpg . Now, should any of these links go dead, just Google "sewing shank chart" or "sewing shank measurement" like a competent internet user, instead of endlessly pestering other buyers to figure it out for you.

You're actually looking for the tone arm itself to be level when lowered onto a record. If the tone arm is level, the cart should be at the right angle.

check the polarity of the tip/ring. if it is the same you may have a bad pedal.
