localcraftsman Report post Posted February 14, 2023 I came across this roller foot conversion on aliexpress to convert walking foot machines to roller foot? I thought it seemed interesting and a bit strange. But if it allows me to convert without having to get another machine it's worth a try. I already have several standard walking foot machines and wanted a roller foot for my wf post bed to use for boot uppers etc. I'll be ordering one, but if anyone else has tried one already I'd love to hear more.

But if it allows me to convert without having to get another machine it's worth a try. Looks very interesting. It appears they have removed the center and outer presser feet and installed the roller foot where the outer presser would have mounted. I can see this working in thinner material. The down side is the conversion causes the material to be moved rearward by the feed dog and the needle. I wonder about possible needle deflection. Let use know how it works out it may save the cost of another machine for some folks. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michiel Report post Posted February 14, 2023 When you remove the inner foot of a triple feed machine you wil have a needle feed machine. You will need an other type of outer foot (or roller foot as is in this kit) but to work good you need also an other set of feed dogs and needle plate its not clear for me if the sent you only the roller foot or also the other parts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
