111 presser foot question

[Tommy217xxx]

Hey everyone, I have a cb341 that has a presser foot like the one in the picture. I like to guide off the presser foot when stitching but I like to use the left side better than the right. Do they offer a presser foot that has the needle centered. My apologies if I got the terminology wrong.

i guess option 2 would be to get another presser foot and modify it with a grinder. Would there be any drawbacks to that?

I don't know why they are typically wider on the left. Somewhere I read that "the softer the material, the bigger you want your foot to be". Grinding down would make your footprint smaller. As long as you are not concerned about sinking too far I don't see a problem. I actually do a fair amount of my stitching with a zipper foot, even when I'm not sewing zippers. (A zipper foot would be like grinding one entire side off)
