Can a roller foot attachment be put on a cylinder arm walking foot somehow? I bought a slotted inner foot and a short left toe presser foot set for my Singer 139w109 walking foot machine from Leather Machines Company (aka: Cobra).

Members dikman Posted February 16, 2018 Members Report Posted February 16, 2018 I bought mine from somewhere in China via ebay 'cos finding parts like this in Oz isn't as easy as you folks in the US have it! As for fitting a roller foot to a walking foot, I suppose it could be done but I'd have to ask why, because of the alternating feet I can't see that it would be of any benefit.

I keep quite a few odd parts up in Goulburn NSW and in some cases have been stocking special feet before anyone else. That is a question that comes up every now and then with the 132k6 where people want to sew lighter leather. To make it a roller foot you have to remove the outer presser bar. Like you, I am not sure that there is any real benefit. Quote

Well I see how designer handbags stitches are very close to the edge. I can only get as close as the inner walking foot lines up with my edge guide..or with the right outside of the inner foot lined up with the edge. I’ve been searching for a solution or foot to get close like it seems the roller foot allows you to get. Quote

Members JeannieH Posted February 18, 2018 Members Report Posted February 18, 2018 Yes I only sew with an outer foot that has the right toe removed..but I still can’t get close as I want sometimes. Quote

I think you need to get out the Dremel and do some sculpting ;P Also depending on what machine you use, there are feet available that have little guides built into them.

Members JeannieH Posted February 18, 2018 Members Report Posted February 18, 2018 Lol yes it seems I need to get the dremel out! Ok I will keep looking! Quote
Members dikman Posted February 18, 2018 Members Report Posted February 18, 2018 Sounds like you need another machine , one designed to use a roller foot. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members JeannieH Posted February 18, 2018 Members Report Posted February 18, 2018 Lol I agree.
