Most any straight stitch machine can do quilting. You can find an 'even-feed' /walking/quilting foot in most shops that will fit a low-shank machine. This type of foot is designed to 'walk' on top of the fabric so that foot pressure does not separate the layers when the feed dogs work on the bottom of your quilt.

SOURCE: How do I attach a walking foot

Okay let's get started.

  • First let's look at the walking foot.
  • Turn the bulky body so that it's away from you.
  • On the left you see a groove that is going to be where you attach the foot to your machine.
  • On the right is a u-shaped arm which you can move up and down. It will go over the needle clamp
Now, let's remove your present foot from the machine and look at it.
  • Loosen the foot screw until it almost comes off. (if it does come off, screw it back on a bit.) The screw is on the left of the foot-bar.
  • On the right you'll see the needle bar with a needle clamp (what you tighten when you replace a needle) on the right of the needle-bar.
Okay the walking foot business.
  • slide the walking foot into position so that the foot screw is in the slot on the right and the u-shaped arm is over the needle clamp, with the needle clamp in the middle of the u-shaped opening.
  • Tighten the foot screw securely, it's going to be under more strain than normal.
  • While you're at it, check that the needle-clamp is nice and tight as well.
Okay, then! There you go... Happy sewing.

SOURCE: Singer 7430

I have a new machine. This is the second the first had the same problem so I exchanged it. It worked fine on 1 project on both machines the next the time it did the following. When sewing stich #8 which is a zig-zag stitch with a straight line on one side, I get the #8 stitch on one the bottom side and the #13 stitch on the top side. I have read the manual, also re-wound the bobbin twice re-threaded the machine twice and changed the needle none of these worked. Do you have any suggestions.

You have to unscrew the presser foot, then attach the WF, using the same screw.

Make sure the lever on the WF rests on top of the needle bar clamp.

Some WF have a two prong lever and this fits around the needle clamp like a lobster claw.

You have to unscrew the screw for the presser foot first. The walking foot will then fit. Use the same screw to attach the walking foot. Before you insert the screw, take the white handle on the walking foot and slide it on the screw arm for the needle. Now tighten the screw.

SOURCE: I own the singer advance

The 7442 does not have feed dogs which can be dropped. You need to use the "Darning Plate" which came with the accessories.

I have a Singer Talent 3321 and i am having a difficult time finding the correct pressure foot for quilting on this machine.

Are you doing free-motion quilting or piecing? The Talent 3321 uses the Singer Low-shank presser feet. If you are doing free-motion quilting, use the darning/embroidery foot. For piecing, use the 1/4" foot. See https://www.singeronline.com/3321talent.html . If you are quilting in straight lines, you might consider the walking foot. The original part numbers are shown in the manual under the Optional accessories on page 9 (page 16 of the PDF). The manual is available on the product page: https://www.singer.com/Talent-3321-Sewing-Machine . The direct link to the manual is currently https://manuals.singer.com/Manuals/RetrievePDF/971 . Other sources with the presser feet in stock are https://www.sewingparts.co.uk/machines/clip-on2/singer-3321.html and https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-3321-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=39 .

I hope this helps.

Does the singer 533 have either a walking foot, a patchwork foot, or a quilting foot

You should be able to find some, if not all, of the presser feet you mention. You just need to determine what shank your machine has and make sure the presser feet you purchase have that same shank. (You may even have a snap-on adapter for your machine, so you just need to order the snap-on feet you want.)

Hello where can i get a quilting foot for a singer

I find ebay great for small specialised items.
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=singer+quilting+foot&_sacat=See-All-Categories
If you are in the USA try www.ebay.com, if you are in the UK then it's www.ebay.co.uk and in Australia I think is www.ebay.com/au Just do a search for singer quilting foot and you should find one that suits you. You can organise your search by price etc so it finds the cheapest one available.
Hope this helps!

Singer sewing machine 2662 wont' work with Singer darning foot

Are you sure it is the right foot for your model sewing machine?

If the machine has a snap-on presser foot, the adapter the foot snaps onto needs to be removed.

The newer models have a lower/short shank and older models have a higher/longer shank. And then there are the old models with a slant shank.
