Heavy Sewing Machines

[esantoro]

Hi Ed

Yes, I did modify the presser foot in the picture.I was talking with Steve at Artisan ,he told me the people trying to sew close to buckles were sawing the tip of the presser feet off.The presser foot,on the machine, in the pic was oriniginally the same size as the foot in the picture laying on the desk.That sawed off foot is not always a good thing.Sometimes when I'm sewing with the short foot it pushes the work out of the way if it has to step up on to additional material.The way this machine is set up it ,the walking foot does not step up very high. Does Artisan sell the Flat Slotted Plate/Feed Dog combo you mention?

Hi Robin,

Here are some of the feet and needle plates I have. With the rounded raised needle plate, my machine misses too many stitches, which I think is in part to the steep slope of the needle slot that allows the needle to deflect too far in front of the hook.

I should think about giving the plateaued holster plate more of a chance to prove itself, even though the rounded plate makes tight corners better.
