pressor foot mods. Post any that you have done

The Juki Parts lists include screw sizes, which is super helpful. The Juki TSC-441 parts list shows a 3/16"-28 spec for the screws that hold down the throat plates.

That's what I mean by bewildering: A machine from a Japanese company specifying a fastener with an Imperial size designation I've never seen. I did find a reference to a 10-28 screw, which might be a distinction without a difference. But why not a M5-.8 or 10-32? It's a rhetorical question, it does keep life interesting. The 100 year-old French Cornely I've been working on has a goofy mishmash of screw sizes too.

Uwe, I'm quiet about saying things like (shh) I didn't have anything better to do, my kids say that a few times, like they have a clue on being busy

Anyway ya did great there figuring that out, that plate looks pretty happy there. Iwas looking earlier at the hightex site for presser feet, and should have looked at plates , maybe tomorrow!

I have a quick ? did you adjust the feed dog height any in the photo and or is there available adjustment with that top plate curious. I mean hey you said you weren't busy

After an evening of beating Adobe Fusion 360 into submission, I finally have a CAD model of the in-line presser foot I plan to make for the 441 class of machines:

That should say "Autodesk Fusion 360", not "Adobe ..." in the post above.

I didn't adjust the throat plate or feed dog height for the photo, it happened to be just right. The throat plate itself cannot be adjusted height-wise, but little adjustments are possible sideways and front/back to center it with the feed dog. The feed dog height can be adjusted on 441 machines (not on DA 205-370 machines).

I decided to go out and sacrifice my foot as well, the photos show what I came up with and was not all that difficult doing, even without all the proper tools we were able to get it done.  Now I just need to get the plate from Uwe and I'll be all set.  thanks for the inspiration to get this done.
