roller foot is not possible on tripe feed machines. You need a drop feed or needle feed machine for that.

I do agree with Constabulary. I can't see how a roller foot would work. I do have some roller feet that I think may fit the shaft.

Think I already worked that out after I'd ordered a cheap one from Ali Express. Duh!

Seems to me that here's an invention looking for an inventor. Just needs a spring somewhere to ride the oscillations.

What on Earth do you need a roller foot for while the compound feed machine already does the feeding for you?

Roller foot is needed on a bottom feed machine, to simplify the feed and to facilitate easy turns. None of that needs any aid on a walking foot machine.

A good start would be the description of your typical work or project.

Machines: Mitsubishi DB-130 single needle, Kansai Special RX-9803/UTC coverstitch, Union Special 56300F chainstitch, Pfaff 335-17 cylinder arm walking foot, Bonis Type A fur machine, Huji 43-6 patcher, Singer 99 hand cranked, Juki DDL-553 single needle (for sale)

Want to machine the mini boot. It's too hard on such a tight radius. Experimenting using a zipper foot at the moment with an edge guide but the veg tan doesn't want to lay down. Have lots of thinner chrome that might be a better fit but without much thought I was thinking that an angled wheel would be closer to the needle. I have some edge guide p/feet for the 239,  might try grinding some of the left side of the right side one. Maybe one of those one behind the other jobbies might do the job. More than ready to be educated.

If you remove the inner feet, the outer feet wil stop oscilating.

But i think  you need other feed dogs and needle plate to get get it working

and figure out to get the roller on the right spot…..

its easier to get another machine i guess

but if you like to tinker, it could be a project

You need a shoe patcher.

or maybe a an "inline foot set" but not sure if that works on your 239. You may need a needle plate with a shorter cut out then cut off toe so the (former) outer foot can step on the needle plate right behind the inner foot. Know what I mean?

If your sewing bottom to vamp I'd use walking foot. Glue it first. For sewing on vamp before sole a post machine is the way to go.
