Is there a deluxe walking foot for the low shank brother machine that has additional feet?

For most sewing machines, raise the current presser foot and place the needle in the highest position. Take off the current presser foot, including the shank (for snap-on feet). Place the lever of the walking foot on the needle clamp screw. Then secure the shank part of the walking foot to the presser bar with the set screw that held the shank of the previous foot in place. Lower the presser foot and sew. Remember to slow down the machine to a medium or slower speed.

There are only three types of sewing machine shanks for presser feet: high, low and slant. I've seen more snap-on feet with low shank "ankles". As long as you have a walking foot with the correct shank for your machine, it should work. (There are some fancier walking presser feet (IDT, for example) with a quick disable option but that wouldn't be available for the Hobbycraft 32s.

Sewing Machine parts UK, https://www.sewingparts.co.uk/hobbycraft.html , has a number of accessories for the Hobbycraft machines. They show installing the walking presser foot here: https://www.sewingparts.co.uk/pdf/walking-foot-p60444.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Did you get a slant shank even feed foot? The Singer 4622 uses a slant shank. Sewing machines can have a high, low or slant shank foot. I would expect the wrong shank walking foot either being too high or too short from the shank screw to the needle plate on the Singer 4622. The appropriate presser feet are shown here: https://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/singer-4622-parts-accessories.php .

I hope this helps. Otherwise, check if the presser foot lifter is working properly to lower the foot.

Yes, the Singer 7470 (Companion or Confidence) is a low shank machine with snap-on feet. The replacement presser foot shank is https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/presser-foot-shank-babylock-brother-xe2555101.aspx .

Using Standard Low Shank Feet
There are 2 different adaptors available that will allow you to use standard low shank presser feet and snap on feet. Some people prefer this method instead of forking out $20-$50 per Bernina presser foot. If you have other sewing machines, it may make sense financially to invest in more low shank or snap on feet that you can take from machine to machine. If you decide to go this route, I just want to remind you that if your machine uses the presser feet with the sensors, these adaptors will not trigger those sensors.
Use Snap On Presser Feet
This snap on presser foot adaptor is available in both old style and new style. When ordering your generic snap on feet for this shank adaptor, be sure you're ordering the correct maximum stitch width that your machine has. This is a very convenient shank since you're able to quickly switch between many different feet without having to remove the shank.
Use Low Shank Presser Feet
Chances are if you sew, you have low shank feet laying around (or 40). This low shank presser foot adaptor is available in both old styleand new style. Simply install this shank like a normal Bernina foot, and then screw your low shank foot to the shank. If you install a low shank foot onto this adaptor, be sure to test with a wide zig zag to make sure the installed foot is wide enough to accommodate your machines maximum stitch width.

Make sure--Does the machine take a short shank presser foot? If so, you can replace it with a short shank zig-zag presser foot. You can probably go to a regular sewing machine repair shop and find a replacement presser foot.

**NOTE--the links below are examples of what is available. I cannot vouch for these vendors as I've never purchased from them. Do your own due diligence before purchasing!!!

Here's an open toe presser foot:

or a regular zig-zag foot:

OR you can buy a short shank adapter and a kit of snap-on presser feet that will give you a big variety of different kinds of presser feet, probably including a zipper foot, hemmer foot, 1/4" quilting foot, darning foot, teflon foot, etc....(probably more than she will ever use!) The snap-on kits are available online, try eBay or some of the other sites. They most likely are not Singer brand, but are most likely generic. However, if your granddaughter is just learning, this may be the broadest variety of choices.

These are examples of snap-on presser feet available.

Snap-on Adapter example (most kits do not include the adapter):

...

I'm guessing, but don't think they are interchangeable. From what I've read, the Bernette is actually made by Janome. It appears that the Bernette uses snap-on presser feet and also has a low-shank. The Bernina 145 uses a special peg-in-a-hole design to attach to the machine, although snap-on feet can be used on Bernina machines with a special snap-on adapter. But from the photos, I could locate on the internet, it appears the shank on the 145 is longer. If still in doubt, contact a Bernina dealer.

If its a brother machine then yes you can use a walking foot. You need a low shank walking foot and you should be able to get it at a fabric shop or and sewing machine shop

My invisible zipper foot is a plastic generic one which was describd as being "low shank" and it works fine on three different Elnas I own.

I would have thought your machine was a low shank style too, there is a fair bit of similarity between feet with low shank clip on style. So if your feet clip on and off the shank, then you should be able to clip on another type of foot too.

if you try this link http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/sewing-machine-presser-feet.aspx

then go through to the page for the foot attachment system that looks like yours you might be able to establish which one you need. THere is a brother high shank invisble foot listed, and an alternative part number. I jcan't see a Brother SC9500 machine listed so you might need to do a bit of elimination.

You could also email sewingpartsonline.com and ask them to help you identify the right foot.

you probably purchased the incorrect walking foot for your specific machine. check and make sure if you have a high shank or a low shank....the way to determine if you have a low-shank is to measure the screw from the plate and look at the distance if it is 5/8 then you have a low, any higher about 1in. then you have a high shank, so you would purchase a foot depending on your shank.
