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.

I was about to recommend a post machine. You can get them already equipped a a roller foot and sometimes, with a roller feeder. I used to have such a machine that I used to make Bikers' caps. The driven roller on the bottom and follow roller on top allowed really precise sewing.

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.

Hey @toxo, In case it helps some I have done something similar with some feet on a Adler 69. I did make the back foot in this case years back before I knew where to buy them. I will put a couple of links up that may be of use in buying. This one you would need to smooth off the bottom of the feet and maybe grind away the edge some more.  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/264766542768?hash=item3da550d3b0:g:on8AAOSw7O9e6bUi

This one is a full one which you can grind back to what ever you think suits https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Presser-Durkopp-Sewing-Machine/dp/B07QKB5WZC

Here is one of the jobs I use these for which is a bag handle

As you can see here I have ground it away a lot

Here showing that only the back part behind on the rear foot does any holding down

Thanks for the efforts guys but I think Brian @RockyAussie has nailed it again. I'll order the right hand zipper foot for the 69 for the future but I have lots of 239 feet that I can play around with and they're a fraction of the cost of 69 feet. I might have to find out how much I can take off that right side. These are keyrings don't forget.

Update!

Had to take everything off to get as close to the edge as I needed. The trade off is having to start away from the start because there's nothing left to hold the material. You have to start with the material under what's le of the outer foot. Hope you can see from theses two bad pics. Will try to do better.

Inline foot set  your needle plate cut out is short enough so the outer (now rear) foot can rest on it. I had to order a new needle plate + feed dog for my 111G156. MIne is on the way:

Well done Folker! Already ordered. Still can't get my head around how it's gonna work but I'll try anything. The needle still has to go down the rabbit hole so I'm guessing a back foot with enough on the left side has to be used right?

But it will not fit your 239! The 239 have lot in common with Singer 111 but NOT the needle plates and feed dogs!

If you are able to cancel the purchase better do - it will not fit!
