Members trash treasure Posted May 5, 2022 Members Report Posted May 5, 2022 It just goes to show - Sometimes you have to be willing to modify things to make them work . Not everything works exactly, off the shelf. I've had to shorten feet, narrow them, etc, etc, many times, to get them to do the work the way we need them to. BTW, grinders are not so scary if you're careful, but maybe that's just me, because I've used them so often - Keeping a little bowl of water nearby is important, though, to cool off the piece, and not burn your fingers - DAMHIKT Sorry for the thread drift ....

Thanks for the tips, actually these are the types of comments I was hoping for. Okay, bowl of water! that would have made things easier. The sparks were flying! Good fix! See, I learned something from your post! The Companies I've purchased the feet from are very nice, so slamming them is not my intent. However, I did want to find out what others have experienced for purchasing various feet for whatever job you are doing. As many of us are makers who do custom work, we all have different experiences. One thing I have found through the years is that it does not seem to matter if I purchase a machine new or used, cheap or expensive, I have to be creative with the way I do things. As my Grandma used to say, "There is more than one way to skin a Cat." She exposed me to the whole sewing experience! How right she was! Edited May 5, 2022 by suzelle Quote
Members Damas Posted May 13, 2022 Members Report Posted May 13, 2022 That's funny because I bought this foot a few weeks ago and I think it can be very handy in some situation where you have to get very close to a D or a belt buckle or a ring, that kind of thing. I put it on my Mitsubishi DU-105 without any modification and gave it a try this morning, see below. I found it on Ali and did a combination of the "Short head foot" small foot here : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000937997235.html? And the "Horseshoe foot" that can be found there : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32962189517.html? Works like a charm.

Members Sasquach Posted May 29, 2022 Members Report Posted May 29, 2022 Hey thanks for the posts on this buckle presser foot! I ordered one and will try it out on my Cobra Class 26. I think it will work as I have used my Class 26 center and outer feet on my Juki 1541. Quote

Members Sasquach Posted May 30, 2022 Members Report Posted May 30, 2022 Thanks for the intro. I am anxious to try the buckle presser foot out. Could have used it Quote

Could have used it Me too! Can't wait to see if it fits both your Cobra Class 26 and possibly your Juki 1541 as well? I just got my Juki 1541 not too long ago, it has seriously made my sewing life much easier! My next machine purchase will be a Cylinder Arm machine and the Cobra Class 26 will be one of the ones I'll consider. Really glad you are here! Quote
Members Sasquach Posted May 30, 2022 Members Report Posted May 30, 2022 I like my Class 26 but bought my Juki 1541 so I could have a flat table for smaller items and finer threads. I do leather things and found both machines do well. The 1541 did give me an issue when sewing over a step up ( another layer). I notice the walking foot did not step up much, so I watched youtube trying to find a solution. Came across a video for a Jukie 1508 and there was the answer, ther e is a plate on the back of the 1541 with a chrome screw, behind that plate is the adjustment for the step up. Quote

Yep, that's right, there is an adjustment to help with the stepping up. Also, there is a special foot you can get with a longer toe, it's called a raised inside foot. Helps you get over the bumps/step-ups easier. This Seller on Ebay I find to be the best (my experience) for feet and other parts for my Juki 1541: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164942364714 Quote
