courtney Report post Posted February 17, 2020 Mmm...not the roller presser foot, but a guide to keep it straight. I’m not sure what the original configuration was, but I saw this that looks right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimi Report post Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Hi Courtney, The one you have in the picture is by the looks of it ,made up, even the needle plate as the screws do not sit proud of the plate, they are level with the plate.The original setup for your machine would have been something like this: The other option was a rounded end but no roller: There were also the combination guide which if your specialty is belts might come in handy for you if you can find one: There were an array of guides for many different functions but mostly for the 45K89 class machine, the following are for the flatbed 45k1 etc. the black ones are from a Adler 4 or 5 so they fit the Singers also but not their screws for fixing them to the plate, singers have a different thread. There was also a swing guide that could fit on the 45k25 also. This one is user made but if you find one be sure to get the screw that holds it on to the arm. They can be very hard to find so you might consider making one, you will need two needle plate screws for the fixed side plate type or one larger screw ( i think it has the same thread as the oil pot screw) for the swing type, and two thumbscrews for fixing the guide.Try Ebay now and again as they do pop up from time to time or member Constabulary here as he has things like this for sale now and again.

courtney Report post Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks again Jimi for the pics. Constabulary I sent you a couple messages that look to not have been read. Maybe this is in the wrong place? Anyone have these guides? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Courtny, I am not sure if there are swing down guides for the 45k machines, i have one on my Pfaff 335, but remember if you do find one to fit you have to drill and tap the holes in the back of the machine. There seems to me like a very limited amount of space at the back of the 45k head and that is probably why they do not have them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
