Members DanaStanley Posted March 23, 2022 Members Report Posted March 23, 2022 I have ordered a CB3200 and want to get accessories for it. The dealer I got it from seems like a nice guy and all, but $75.00 for a left side presser foot is a lot! So, looking around I found one for $43.00 by a company called Ever Nice (on E-Bay) Has anyone used their presser feet? Are they OK? Am I just being a cheap skate? $30.00 less seems like a lot of money to waste. On the other hand, if it isn't a good fit, or breaks then it would be a waste. Quote
Members Marcremb Posted March 25, 2022 Members Report Posted March 25, 2022 Hello Dana Stanley If it can help you. Look what i did on my machine. I have cut a slot at the other end of the presser foot bar to be able to install any kind of Walking foot Singer feet. I was Also finding the 441 feet very expensive and the second reason is that i do Upholstery for living so i need Upholstery feet like piping feet on the monster machine (441). No one sells piping feet for this model. Please look at my topic that i have Just put on the forum, May be you can Also help me Thanks By the way, evernice on Ebay is a very good company. I often buy parts from them. If their is any thing wrong with the part they ship another one Quote

Dana, Yes these feet will work & we can also get these chrome plated steel feet & sell them @ a cheaper price BUT we've found so many leatherworkers often sew moist or wet leather which interacts with the chrome & makes it peel off making the steel rusty.The feet we sell as stated on our website are made of stainless steel which will never rust.

Great info Cowboy Bob! I am glad you pointed out the differences. I had no clue myself what the reason was for the price differences. Probably most of what I am doing right now (mostly vinyl auto interiors) won't damage the cheap feet I purchased for my Industrials. However, I'm hoping to graduate into a nice cylinder arm machine eventually, mostly for leather work. I would not hesitate to purchase the feet you sell for a sewing cylinder arm machine I buy, old or new. That is if you have the feet I may need. Quote
