SOURCE: presser foot lever does not lift presser foot

If you can remove the cover on the left side you will see the presser foot bar. On the bar there will be a screw that may be loose. Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way down and lift the foot manually until just before it makes contact with the needle clamp and tighten the screw on the presser foot bar.
That should do it.

SOURCE: faulty presser foot lifter on a singer 2110/2112.

I have seen these machines with broken presser bar clamps (something inside the head). If it is just a bind then some oil on the presser bar may work, if the clamp is broken then it is probably not worth fixing.
Good luck!

SOURCE: The presser foot lifter of my Singer 9432 has disconnected

Had the same problem.
Open the cover where the light bulb is.

Follow the presser foot rod up into the machine.

You will find a metal keeper with a set screw facing the now open end of the machine.

That set screw has most likely come loose.

Since the presser foot is spring loaded to the down position leave the presser foot raising lever in the down position.

With your flat bladed screwdriver, gently push the metal keeper to it's lowest position. If it does not go easy, loosen the metal keeper set screw a bit. Lefty loosey.

Tighten the set screw on the metal keeper. Righty tighty.

Why is my walking foot too high? How do you adjust a walking foot? I have a Singer 4622a and wanted to use a walking foot

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.

Is Elna 3007 high or low shank?

To Measure: When presser foot is down, measure the distance from the bottom of foot to screw-hole that holds the foot onto the presser bar. Singer slant is for slant needle machine only. A high shank machine measures approximately 1 1/4" from the screw to the bottom of the foot.

Singer 7033, presser foot is disconnected. How do I fix it?

If the presser foot isn't connected to the presser foot shank, place the foot under the center of the shank. Lower the presser foot lifter making sure that the shank goes over the presser foot pin. Press down firmly on the screw that holds the presser foot shank until you hear the foot snap into the shank. Do not turn the presser foot shank screw. See the pictures on page 9 of the manual (page 11 of the PDF). Manuals LIb has this page here https://www.manualslib.com/manual/470415/Singer-7033.html?page=11#manual . The manual is also available from Singer on their support page: https://www.singer.com/support . The direct link to the manual is https://www.singer.com/sites/default/files/product_manual/SINGER%207029_7033_%207035%20and%209410%20Sewing%20Machine.pdf . For feet that are attached to the slant shank, you loosen the presser foot shank screw. Place the shank over the presser foot screw and then tighten the screw to hold the presser foot. If you removed a foot and the shank together, put it back on. Make sure that the needle and the presser foot lifter are in their highest positions. Push up the front side (toe) of the presser foot until the foot snaps off the shank.

If the presser foot doesn't snap into place, make sure that you have everything aligned properly. Otherwise check for damage to the presser foot and the shank. Replace any damaged parts. Some presser feet are available here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-7033-sewing-machine-parts.aspx .

I hope this helps.

What is the roller foot product number for Singer Quantum 9960

If you purchase a low shank presser foot, it should work on your machine. Just verify that it has the same shank as your other presser feet.

E99670 short shank, or snap on presser feet?

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):

Need instructions for Singer side cutter model CY9000L. I have a Singer Talent 3323

http://www.amazon.com/SINGER-Attachment-Low-Shank-Sewing-Machines/dp/B00G6TW7ZK

There is a video tutorial on this Amazon page on how to use this attachment. Basically,, the forked arm fits over the needle clamp, and it attaches to the machine the same way any presser foot does. Check the video, it's very clear. The video is the last one of the group of small picture icons on the far left side of the page near the top of the page.

Vintage Tough and Sew Model # 628 PRESSER FOOT QUESTION!

You should be able to figure out which shank your machine has here:

http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/sewing-machine-presser-feet.aspx

If you have the manual, it should show you how to change the presser feet.

SINGER Instruction Manual pdf model 628

If your machine and presser foot look like the one in the video, the screw on the left side of the presser foot should be what holds the presser foot in place.

Pressure foot does not stay in place...comes loose

Not sure what the problem is.

There is a screw that holds the presser foot shank to the presser bar.

When the presser foot shank is lowered, it snaps onto the presser foot.
