Can this be used on singer 9960? The markings on the 9960 are very hard to read. Looking for a good seam gauge that is not magnetic.

If your machine can accept a snap on foot, it will work on it. Please note that the foot itself is not marked off. Personally I wish that each line were a different color to make it easier to follow, but I find it easier than following a shallow line on the machine itself. Good luck and happy stitiching!

Hi! My singer is older and has a slant shank, which works with ths foot. Look in your manual or at your standard presser to see if yours has a slant shank.

I have rarely had thread bunching up at the pressure plate--unless it was something I did (wrong fabric stabilizer combination or need of new needle) make sure you are using a standing thread guide with a net on the spool--adjust your speed to the project(this singer model messes up if to fast for project) I use it at around p letter in Speed for heavy projects if your doing light fills for light stitching you can speed up a bit(and works better for that and may solve any loops on top when your light stitching----make sure your machine is threaded correctly and the bobbin is in correctly --that could also cause the bunching problem-----hope this helps--pat

The nobbins work on my Singer Touch & Sew Model 600E, which was new in 1966. The instruction manuals that came with the machine cite model 600 and 604, so I'm thinking that the bobbins for all the 600s are interchangeable, but I can't be certain. The only diffetene I see is that the bottom disc of the recently purchased bobbins is opaque rather than clear. Otherwise they load and stitch as usual.

This machine caused me nothing but problems. I sent it back after working with singer over the phone for several hours and no resolution could be found. I am an experienced sewer and never could get this machine to work. My best advice to you is to go to a Husquvarna Viking dealer and look at the Emerald 116 or 118. They run between $300 and $400. They don't have the number of stitches this singer has, but the quality and ease of use you are looking for are there in spades! This machine will last forever if it is maintained with yearly cleanings and use of good thread. It is simple and to the point. You can also use it as a trade up towards the next step up in the line when you are ready for another Husquvarna! They are priceless and worth their weight in gold as far as I am concerned. Singer's are all made with plastic gears while Husquvarnas are still all metal. Hope this helps.

I have a Brother machine and was concerned about whether it would fit and work properly since it's a Singer part. This ruffler foot is actually an "old-fashioned" type of foot, i.e., not a 'snap-on'. If your Singer accommodates snap-on feet, you'll need to remove the adapter before installing the ruffler foot. The previous replies provided good info also--take your time, make sure you've installed the foot exactly as it's shown in the photos and check needle position with manual operation first. Practice is good. Take time to fold/press/stitch a 1/8" hem on the side of the fabric not being ruffled. I missed this the first time; it makes a big difference!

I don't think it will work on Singer models however, if you contact the seller, I believe they may have some that might. These are mainly for Brother, Babylock and Janome. Hope this helps!

Hi, I bought this type of converter for my family oversea. I didn't use it, myself, and I don't know if it will work on sewing machine. Thank you

I purchased one and use it occasionally. It has a good magnet and since I have an older Viking machine, which is metal; it does hold well. Since my sewing is predominately quilting using a 1/4" seam, I use my 1/4" seam presser foot more than the seam guide.

Please have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tByXPGwvZ_I to see how a seam guide is used; think of this magnetic seam guide as corresponding to the piece of tape shown in the video. 1/5" is a very peculiar measurement. I don't know of a ruler that would show 1/5". But I figured that 1/5" is about 5 mm, so you can use a millimeter ruler to measure such a distance. On my sewing machine with the needle positioned in the center of the presser foot, 5 mm from the needle would fall under the pressure foot. So the only way I could sew a 5 mm seam would be to move the needle away from the center position, setting it so that it is 5 mm from one edge of the pressure foot. Then I could use the edge of the presser foot as the seam seam guide. So for such an odd seam allowance, this magnetic seam guide would not work unless you have a very narrow presser foot. That said, this is a wonderful seam guide for measuring seam allowances of more conventional widths.

If your model uses snap on feet it should work just fine. Works great on my Singer.

I have had very good success, especially in machine applique in quilting. Not sure about apparel unless you are applique work. Don't use it for seams. It's for decorative purposes.

I don't see any reason it won't work. Fantastic gauge, enjoy. Once it's zeroed at 90d everything else is dead on. I cut 8 45s and no matter how I put them together they came out at 90 degrees.

I don't havevs Singer, but I have a Janome sewing machinev& a Simplicity serger & it works with these machines. I really like the thread, it is marked Coats Astra.

go to singer website, there put in search area, Singer Athena - look at feet for your machine. they show you use an easy sort of clip to machine foot - on the feet look at the metal bar that attaches to machine - if this is like your - then yes the bias tape foot will work & attach that easy - if not you can probably get attachment that will adjust any foot to this type- just ask at Singer. Hope this helps - I love the foot - I made 14 placemats for Easter and used my bias tape maker & this foot.

http://www.ehow.com/facts_6153221_low-high-shank-sewing-machines.html This is how I decided. However, although I have a low shank machine the screw provided with my original presser foot was not long enough for this presser foot. I had been using the zipper foot on my Singer machine and it works OK, but I purchased the Distinctive presser feet for welting and I am determined to figure it out.

I'm not familiar with your model. I have older singer machines and all my feet fit all my machines interchangeably. I bought this foot and it fits my Touch and Sew from the 1960's, it fits my 401, my 401A heavyweight machine and my heavy duty leather Singer machine model 15-91 from the 1930's, It's 8 bucks, give it a try. Your machine is newer so I can't say for sure. Good luck.
