Members Zol Posted 5 hours ago Members Report Posted 5 hours ago ...actually, only precice Singer source says "alternating presser" ,not "walking foot" so, same as my Singer 15-39, differences are: - 15-39 is the backside foot the pulling one, jumping after pull forward, while 78-3 front foot is pulling in a circle move. - 15-39 has feed dog (single line, as also for leather), no needle feed (see pic) Now here is the question (or are the questions): What exactly is the difference of walking foot and alternating presser? I have here two "Singer walking foot attachments", having an inner and an outer foot. But I am not shure about that. My Singer 29 (long freearm shoemaker) has, what I would call a walking foot, (pulling after stitch back, when needle entered cloth/leather, it's going up and in ordinary position) Also Singer 16 KSV 11 has a single foot, but some do not call it walking foot. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Does anybody have a picture of Singer 78-3 (maybe also other do it) from backside? My machine has close to presser lever a loose plate with 2 holes at upper end. Ok, machine lies flat on ground, I forgot to rotate the image to normal stand Quote
