shoepatcher Report post Posted October 22, 2020 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? glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted October 22, 2020 I noticed the number in the 29K manual but whats actually the difference? I mean technically. Will check what # my feet have - never did... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) 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....

Constabulary Report post Posted October 24, 2020 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLee Report post Posted March 26, 2022 Feeding foot #8666 is specific for the 29K58 & 29K60 Waxed Thread. All others use different feet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLee Report post Posted March 30, 2022 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
