Constabulary you are awesome!!!

In the third photo with the large screw head on the slide with locking bolt on other side,  I moved it as far down the slide as it would go and it did what it was supposed to. I can put 1/2 inch or more of material under the foot and no problems.

Thank you

Now do you have any good sources for presser feet for this machine?

 

You are welcome

I do not know this subclass but I would guess it takes the same feet as the 7-33 but better check with a dealer f.i. those who have adverts on top of this page (if you don´t use an ad blocker)

Cowboy Bob from Toledo Sewing Machines and Gregg from Keystone Sewing Machines already replied here - I would check with them.

Another question, the presser foot on this old 7-55 makes it so that it will not climb over welts. The front part of the presser foot (toe) once it hits the seam or welt it lifts the rear portion that makes contact with the feed dogs and thus the material does not feed. Is this normal for these old machines? I'm not sure what to do to combat this issue, any ideas would be great.

I borrowed one of these from my wifes machine, some years back and never returned it, well she doesn't use it.

You are correct Bob.  I forgot to say modified OR  wore out.

I recently ordered a part for my machine, a guys said he had a race for a singer class 7 that would fit my 7-55 so I went ahead and ordered the part from him. I don't know what he sent me but it definitely does not fit my class 7. does anyone know what this part would be for? The guys I am dealing with was closing for the day so he said he would call his supplier in the am, he seemed good and knew what he was talking about.

The old race is the smaller one, obviously.
