Ian1783 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian1783 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
