Can you change the presser foot? I need to use a zipper foot, I know it's not included but can it be purchased separately?

This machine is good for beginning to sew but I would not recommend it for putting in a zipper. It's not that heavy duty.

In addition to the attached presser foot for normal sewing, there are: a blind stitch hem foot, a hemmer foot, an overedge foot, a zipper foot, a transparent buttonhole foot, a zigzag foot and an automatic buttonhole foot. When I use a zigzag stitch, I use the normal foot (don't change it to a zigzag foot) and it works fine. I use this machine almost daily and am very satisfied.

Hello Fannie: I just had the same problem. I sew sometimes eight hours a day and the presser foot shank will wear out after several months. The answer to your question is SEWING PARTS ONLINE. I just received my shipment yesterday. Take my advice, order more than one. The cost is 5.99 per shank plus shipping and handling. They ship fast, too.

The first thing you need to consider is the sewing machine. Does your machine accept high shank or low shank presser feet. Most newer machines use low shank presser feet. The item pictured is not a presser foot. It is a snap-on presser foot low shank adapter. Without a snap on presser foot to go with the snap on shank adapter you have nothing. A high or low shank presser foot is one piece and complete and only need to be attached to the machine and secured with the screw to function. The snap on presser feet were designed for speed, convenience and utility for changing presser feet for different sewing conditions. You only need to secure the snapon adapter to the sewing machine once. Then a wide variety of sewing snap on feet can be used with easy snap on / snap off utility. Don't know if there is a high shank snapon adapter. Beware that none of this works if you have a slant shank vs straight vertical sewing machine. Also, don't know if all manufacturer snap on presser feet fit all manufacturer snap on shank adapters. My limited experience is that most snap on shank adapters and snap on presser feet are compatible with each other. Good luck.

I would contact the seller directly. He may even be able to customize it if now. Good luck - I love mine!

You need to use the right needle for the fabric. There is a chart in the manual. Purchase a jeans needle. It does not have to be the Singer brand. This machine has two levels for the presser foot height. Just lift the presser foot as high as it will go, then lower to test this function. Invest in a "hump-jumper" or "jean-a-ma-jig", These are sold with sewing notions and help level the presser foot when approaching a thick area such as the flat-felled seams on the inside seam of the jeans.

No not to my knowledge! I bought the Singer clothes Press which is Awesome for pressing and putting a crease in pants!!

I saw them available on Amazon. Do a search for Janome presser feet on Amazon.

If you look on the left side of the presser foot bar, near the bottom, there is a screw - you remove it, take off any existing feet or snap-on shank, and then put this one on in its place. In the picture, there is a rectangular opening in the middle - that is where it slides onto the presser foot bar, and there is an opening on the left side for the screw.

I would say no if it looks different. Get the model number from your machine or the part number on the pusher sleeve and look on Amazon. That's what I did.

The plastic 'foot' is bonded to the metal of the Monopod. Therefore, I feel that you would have to convert from one thread size to another should you need to. The threads apparently mounted permanently to the foot.

Hi Joyce Ann, I ordered this foot by mistake, I needed one that fit a 1600p-dbx...this one did not fit. I contacted Ken's Sewing Center and they were very helpful in getting me the correct foot, however it was more expensive. If Ken's Sewing Center is the seller, I would say, call them to ask and make sure before you purchase it. I did get the correct foot for my machine and I love it! Good Luck, Aimee

I think you can purchase a foot pedal controller for this machine. just search for it, it should come up

I have a Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 and it fits and works just fine. It attaches just like any other presser foot does. Quick and easy to use. I absolutely love it! Good luck.:o)

I created this page to specifically help with sewing machine feet. I will (when I get my light tent set up again) update this page in the future to include some more feet (I've already covered the more common uncommon presser feet, but I have recently obtained some antique feet to my collection. http://pointysticks.net/sewing-machine-feet/

i can't guarantee that but i would imagine so. i have a Brother machine and this fits fine. the machine i learned on, a Singer from the 1960s, would not have accepted this due to the way the presser foot was a single piece. if your machine allows you to switch the foot w/o removing the screw and taking off the entire mechanism i would imagine this would work...

Mine was an 17 lb, peek a poo and it was too big. we even tried to alter it,By folding it over but no good. They have other online, but they are custom, and run $100.00 of dollars, I would sugest purchase it, and see if you can find a sewing person, or a shoe repair, since they work with similar material to alter it to fit. That is what I am doing with mine, taking it to a shoe place to have it altered.
