Review on SINGER Even Feed/Walking Presser Foot - Fork, Ideal for Precise Stripes & Plaids Matching, Quilting & Sewing on Pile Fabrics - Simplifying Sewing by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Singer OEM product, handy to have on hand

Even-feed is ideal for bulky or "slippery" fabrics, matching blankets, or even for joining quilt blocks/pieces (aligning seams). This is the second even feed purchased, also known as "walking foot". First picture of what happened! Second, a cheap Taiwanese fake bought on eBay (note the packaging) didn't work even though the seller advertised it as Singer Featherweight. It could not be fitted to any of my low (short) shank vintage Singer machines, not even my favorite Engineer! I apologize for not taking the packaging from reality, but as long as the item looks like the first picture you should be happy with the item. Before installing this jig, you MUST first remove the thread cutter (I've placed it on the fabric swatch in the first picture in case you don't know what it looks like), or it will interfere by making a thump when the needle bar moves when Sew up and down. On most older models, the thread cutter simply slides off the presser foot bar. Second, always lower the needle into the fabric, lower the presser foot, and then hold the ends of the thread, to start sewing. This is the best sewing method with this attachment, or sewing in general. Finally, this item would have received "5 stars" if the item wasn't primarily plastic, unlike my other vintage lures. The first thing you need to do before attaching this attachment is to remove the thread cutter (I placed it on the fabric swatch in the first picture in case you don't know what it looks like) otherwise it will make a rattling noise when making it when the needle bar moves up and down while sewing. On most older models, the thread cutter simply slides off the presser foot bar. Second, always lower the needle into the fabric, lower the presser foot, and then hold the ends of the thread to begin sewing.
