zuzupetal Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Hi. I recently purchased a Consew 227R-2 (cylinder) and am trying to get better acquainted with it. I've looked through my manual and tried searching online before humbly asking for help from all of you. I'm hoping to make handbags and storage totes and also some zippered pouches. I'm having trouble determining which presser feet will be compatible with my machine. In pre-walking foot machine days, it would be a zipper foot (feet?) or edge stitching foot and maybe a double binding foot would be good. I sincerely appreciate any assistance. I hope I didn't ask something that's already been discussed on this site. Please bear with me. Thanks a bunch for your time. Linda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narvi Report post Posted May 7, 2014 I have the same machine. Any feet that will fit the ubiquitous consew 206 will also fit the 227. A right zipper foot set is a must for edge sewing, it's what I leave on my machine by default. If you're sewing leather make sure to get a set with a smooth bottom. If you don't have a folding edge guide on your machine, you can get a zipper foot with a built in spring loaded edge guide. You can also get a welting foot to sew piping.
