SteveA Report post Posted January 22, 2016 I have a singer 31-15. Can anyone tell me if the roller feet or roller wheel attachments that fit my machine are worth purchasing. I don't sew a lot of vinyl or leather and when I do I seem to be OK with a the standard presser foot and diamond needle. Should I be upgrading to feet designed for leather and vinyl - I never used those types of feet and appreciate any advise you can offer up Thanks, SA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 22, 2016 I have a roller foot conversion kit for my 31-15. It works extremely well as long as any seams are not too much higher than the other layers. The roller lets the leather flow, rather than drag. I also have a 1/2" wide roller equipped screw-on foot that works okay. It pivots at the back to let it climb and roll over seams. My take is that if you need maximum visibility of where the needle is going, get a roller foot conversion kit. If you can follow a stitch line by looking down the middle of a 1/2 inch wide presser foot, get one with rollers on the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveA Report post Posted January 23, 2016 Hello Thanks again for your help. I did order the SPK3 but still have questions for the roller with the black extension arm. Do I need both - or will the SPK3 handle all needs ? If I order the extension style arm which of the three size wheels are your choice ? Can I continue with my existing feeder dog or must I match up using what looks like a smaller dog in their package ? On a you tube video I see them making adjustments to the needle height arm for this roller foot - is that correct ? Kindly SA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 23, 2016 I think you would be better off starting with the SPK3 add-on foot. All you have to do is unscrew the foot that's on now and screw that one on instead. The roller foot conversion involves removing and replacing three items and adjusting the height of the presser bar. As for wheel diameters, each user has to determine that for themselves, based on previous experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
