spurdude101 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 can anyone tell me if they make a welting foot for sewing piping on upholstery for shoe patcher model 29 family? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted February 11, 2016 I've never seen one because it wouldn't feed properly since only the top foot pulls the material.When your sewing upholstery you'll be sewing at least 4 plys of material & it'll shift with just the top feed.

spurdude101 Report post Posted February 14, 2016 thanks, In theory I suppose you are right. however I have not had too much problems with that happening. As it is the only machine I have I sew all kinds of things on it. sometimes you have to watch and take your time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted February 15, 2016 You could probably do some upholstery easier if you ground off one side of the foot so you could get closer to the needle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 16, 2016 Presser feet for 29 type machines aren't that expensive. I bought an extra foot online and cut off the left toe. I used to to sew around circular ceramic magnets embedded inside leather pouches and cases. It did a fine job, leaving the needle free to sew right next to the raised area, while not getting dragged in by gravity from the blackhole; I mean magnet... The technique works, whether you are sewing around raised hardware, magnets, or piping. You could probably do some upholstery easier if you ground off one side of the foot so you could get closer to the needle. Why don't you sell the man a presser foot with one toe ground off? I have one I made and it works fine on my patchers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
