Members leatherisfun Posted November 26, 2015 Members Report Posted November 26, 2015 A few choices. I use a 1/8, first in the list most of the time. The guide is spring loaded, do doesn't limit one to only using it as an edge guide. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Juki-LU562-LU563-1508-1541-Walking-Foot-S585-Edge-Guide-Feet-1-8-/280856953341?hash=item41646101fd:g:ztUAAMXQXMRR7Gyd http://www.ebay.com/itm/JUKI-LU-562-LU-563-LU-1508-WALKING-FOOT-MACHINE-STANDARD-PRESSER-FOOT-SET-/161189528042?hash=item2587a501ea:g:bkwAAOxyRhBSx0KY Quote

I do alot of close to the edge sewing and it would be useful. Sometimes i can't use a standard or dropdown edge guide due to shape of project or stitch position. Like yesterday....

Members leatherisfun Posted November 26, 2015 Members Report Posted November 26, 2015 Never seen an edge guide foot for a 441. Only options I know about are the drop down roller guide that Nick O, one of the site sponsors sells ( or the guide attached to the arm offered by Toledo Industrial (http://www.tolindsewmach.com/images/large/img_0173.jpg) and other vendors. I have the latter style guide of guide but don't use it anymore. Taught myself to get close to the edge with the double toe harness foot and stay straight freehand. My technique is to use the right prong of the foot as my guide and go slow. Quote

That is how i do it as well, however i would like to go faster at times and have someting to push against when turning curves. A roller guide is in the way. And eyeballing a stitch while holding up a couple pound worth of brass and leather can be hard. Too much to pay attention to. A guide foot would help in places like here: Quote "If nobody shares what they know, we will eventually all know nothing." "There is no adventure in letting fear and common sense be your guide"
Members leatherisfun Posted November 26, 2015 Members Report Posted November 26, 2015 Forgot to post the link to the nickOsew drop down guide: http://www.nickosew.com/details.php?id=350 The roller on this is much smaller, might work better for you. Quote
