singer 29 sewing foot part #8666

Someone a while ago in Australia was advertising that they had the singer29K foot #8666 being built in China.  Anyone remember who that was and if they have any left?

 I noticed the number in the 29K manual but whats actually the difference? I mean technically.

Will check what # my feet have - never did...

Oh - I have an OEM Singer foot with #8666. I thought it is just the standard coarse foot. 

Not sure what the difference is compared with the standard coarse foot.

But if you ask me it just look like the standard Adler 30 coarse foot. I will take some pictures tomorrow....

These are the two feet I have.  The two numbers are mentioned in the 29K1 - 29K33 manual as standard feet that come with the machine. Dunu what the difference to the later feet mentioned in the 29K71 - 29K73 series manual is.

Feeding foot #8666 is specific for the 29K58 & 29K60 Waxed Thread. All others use different feet.

Actually it was on for the long arm big bobbin Singer shoepatchers  29K 55, 60, 72, 172.

 I bought a 29K60 from a cobbler’s estate. It stitches nice, but won’t pick up its foot. It shuffles, so it drags the leather fore & back again. Consequently, unless I pull the leather along, all the stitches land in the same hole. ☹️

Before dismantling the thing, which could turn out worse, would CONSTABULARY consider selling me that #8666 foot?

He wouldn´t cause he only has one of them

Have you checked the foot lift adjuster on your machine and have set the stitch length adjuster to a longer stitch length?

Have you read the manual?

To start with something - please post some good clear pictures of your machine from front and back.

On the backside of the machine there's a wingnut adjustment that has L,M,H loosen the wingnut & move it so the line is on the H & report back what happens.
