Members CustomDoug Posted March 2, 2012 Members Report Posted March 2, 2012 I have a Consew model 18, which is an older walking foot machine and I'm trying to source a zipper foot for it. Singer makes the same machine BTW (16-188), but that's been of no help. I contacted a couple of this site's sponsors and none had a zipper foot for this machine. I noticed while searching ebay that Consew's portable walking foot machine (the CP206R) uses what looks exactly like the presser foot on my machine and it's offered in L and R zipper feet too. I realized the middle skinny foot of the two machines mount differently (at least I think they do), so I'd be using the my original one, I'm just trying to source the outside foot. However the picture in the ebay add is just a line drawing so I feel uneasy about ordering the item without having the dimensions. Does anyone have a CP206 that could look at the presser foot? It doesn't have to be the zipper foot, the regular will be enough to tell if this will work. I have absolutely no affiliation with the seller but here's a picture of the add I'm looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WALKING-FOOT-RIGHT-TOE-ZIPPER-FOOT-CONSEW-CP206R-/300441754801?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f3b95cb1#ht_4033wt_1066 oh and actually, here's another seller that has a sort of distorted picture. I can hold my presser foot at the same angle as these pics and they look identical to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Consew-CP206R-Left-Right-Zipper-Foot-/270709849915?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f07907f3b#ht_1867wt_907 Thanks for any help.

Members CustomDoug Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 3, 2012 I can do the grinding and alterations on a welting foot that I have but I'd really rather find a ready made item. I'll get in touch with cutex Art, thanks. Quote Does Anyone Know Where the Love of God Goes When the Waves Turn Minutes to Hours?
