Members Ian1783 Posted June 25, 2013 Members Report Posted June 25, 2013 My new-to-me- Singer 153 W 103 cylinder SM came with what I'll call two "sets" of presser feet. The two sets share the same inner foot, a smooth-bottom foot (middle of photo). The photo shows a set on the left with dual-notched, toothed feed plate; feed dog with dual (split - one narrow, the other wide), toothed feed dogs; outer foot with single, narrow outer toe. The set on the right has a smooth feed plate with single opening; toothed feed dog; two-toed, smooth-bottomed outer foot. And, again, they share the same smooth-bottomed inner foot. I believe the set on the right is for multi-purpose leather work. But what would the set on the left be most useful for? It has that very narrow, single-toe outer foot that appears to have some specific purpose. Ian SF Bay Area http://imcinnis.blogspot.com/ Quote
CowboyBob Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Ian,the one on the left is called a zipper foot,for sewing next to zippers,it can also be used for sewing close to things like buckles,spots & were ever the right toe would be in the way.

Members Ian1783 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 25, 2013 OK! I'm familiar with domestic-machine zipper feet. Good to know. I can see that coming in handy. Ian SF Bay Area http://imcinnis.blogspot.com/ Quote
CowboyBob Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 We also either side with a smooth bottom,those teeth will mark leather. Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
