Spring Loaded Edge Guide Presser Feet / Compensating Guides

[Wizcrafts]

ok for a walking foot machine, what could I use to improve the stitch lines of my french seams? My stitch lines could stand to be a little more consistently straight. I was hoping that this would fit into the center channel of the seam which would control the straightness of my line.

I guess a 1/8 inch left or right side edge guide foot set would be nice.

I hate to revive an old topic, but where do I find the compensating feet that would fit a Cobra Class 4 machine?  The ones that I came across don't seem to work for a machine like mine.

There aren't any commercially available. You would have to hire a machine shop to make them for you. The 441 and its clones have very few presser feet to choose from.

What type of foot are you looking for or perhaps I should ask what do you want the foot to do specifically? Is this picture the type of thing you mean? Regards Brian

RockyAussie, I need something that looks like the second foot or a compensating foot. I'm assuming that the second one is a guide foot. I'm looking to sew two straps, of different widths, together.  I want to insure that my stitching is exact along the edge of the top (smaller width) strap.

I wish that I would have known that earlier... it would have influenced my choice of machine.  I'm sure that it would cost an arm and a leg to have these made.

Would these fit my machine based on the modes that are listed in the item discription?

The feet in that ebay listing above are standard Singer 111 class feet and will not fit your Cobra.

You can also use a swing-down edge guide to guide along an edge of a layer on top of another material. The edge guide roller can "float" above the bottom layer and follow the edge of the top layer. You'll need the edge guide (KG-867 or KG967), and mounting adapter (KB205), and a hand lever extension (UX441).

Thank you Uwe.  Any suggestion in where to find these parts?

I have the swing down edge guide parts available, send me PM for details. 

Here's a photo of the edge guide presser foot Kwok Hing makes, but I don't have these in stock right right now:
