Did you know Singer makes their own proprietary snap on presser feet and snap on adapters? If you have a Singer machine, it can be confusing navigating which foot goes with which shank. In this video, we describe the difference between the Singer "skinny" proprietary feet/adapters and standard snap on feet/adapters.

You guys are amazing! As I own several vintage and modern sewing machines, you provide the best sewing supplies, web site, AND tutorials. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. Ive been very frustrated with my sewing machine for almost a 9 months now trying to figure out how to use these pressure feet that are "universal" i got off of Amazon. I will now be shopping with you all so I can know I will be getting compatable products. I hope to upgrade some day but that is costly. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
I was on the verge of buying a new machine even if I hadn’t gotten much use out of the machine I already then I found out there’s supposed to be an adapter??? Why isn’t anyone telling us this😭
Thank goodness I purchased my Singer before they started with proprietary parts. I would be many shades of upset! I just found your channel and watched a couple of videos. Will probably be up all night watching as many as I can. Thank you so very much for the informative videos. Just what I am needing!
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! Clears up a lot of confusion I had. I was given a Singer machine that had the "skinny" adapter and mating feet you describe. I ordered a set of feet online, and then I found this video and realized they wouldn't work with my machine as it was. :( You saved me $20 since I didn't open the feet and can take them back. :)
Jonathan Polfer So glad our video helped!
but can you just buy the new adapter that is the wide one?
Brilliant! Thank you so much, my dear, for clarifying this!
I wished I knew all this before I wasted money on attachments that don’t fit my Singer 😒 thank you for the useful information, also some say they would fit Singer but they don’t 😡
I have a Japanese machine and the foot compatibility has been giving me grief since I got it. Thank you so much, this was immensely helpful
You're welcome, Cotton by Candy!
This was useful. My Singer came with the "skinny" shank adapter, and I was alarmed to find that the specialized presser feet I'd ordered (not from you guys, sorry) didn't fit on it. Nice to know I can get the other kind and use them after all.
Thank you for another video, always enjoy your videos, such a wonderful teacher.
Thank you so much for your kind words!

I threw some purchases. Have ended up with several of these skinny adapters feet but I don't have any adapters. I just figured I was going to put them off to the side. There wasn't anything in spectacular. Impressive about them and I'll just keep using the original feet that I'm accustomed to seeing and using and maybe some of the wider adapter snap on adapter feet cuz I do have a few of those
Can you make a video to show how to install and change the skinny SLANT presser feet, please? I bought two skinny adaptors for my slant shank Singer T&S but had a really hard time snapping on to the foot. It didn't seem to fit and the foot came off the adaptor whenever I accidentally tapped on it.
This video helped a lot - before I order the slant adapter and allegedly snap on feet! Thank you so much! Kathy
at last i know it👍 that is whats my problem wth my singer 224u parts a presser that can fit into its slant shank. thats parts i cant found most online seller here in my place. thank you and more more power to you!
I have a singer with slant shank, and it's such a pain getting adaptors for it. Thanks for the detail.
Our pleasure!
I was able to attach the metal presser feet to the 44601shank using the info that you gave me, the plastic ones are still not attaching firmly. I got both metal and plastic ones when I bought my machine. I do appreciate the help . Thanks a lot.
You're welcome 🙂
I'm looking for a slant shank adaptor for my creative touch 1036 .. that will allow me to use the standard 32 piece pressure feet kits...i have seen a white plastic one on line....is that the only one i can use on my machine?
I was just looking at the singer snap on foot. Just submitted an order to round out my other 7 vintage machines. I have a Singer model 15 japanese clone really new condition set up as hand crank. Was thinking to get a few more feet even though its straight stitch. Maybe even get a potted motor. Not sure, its unique as is. This video helps.
Thank you for letting us know this is good information.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the info. I have 2 of the 44601 shanks so I don't really need that. What I need now is either presser feet that will fit those shanks or a shank that will fit the presser feet that I have in my possession
The 446014-3 straight stitch foot and the 446014-2 zig zag foot will work with the 44601 shank. Make sure you install your shank first and then lower it onto the foot bar; otherwise, it is very hard to clip it in. I hope this helps.
Hi! Thank you for the useful information. I want to order a walking or feeding foot from amazon and the one that I found is suitable for a low shank machine. My machine is Singer Tradition 2277. I called the dealer in my country to ask if it is a low shank machine but they did not know! So do you know if my machine is a low shank or not please? Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial.

Thanks
Thank you for this info.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Finally! Thank you!
I am still confused. I have a Singer Futura 900 era 1974 that has a long skinny Slant Shank and have spent a fortune
buying all the presser feet. Now I am ready to junk the machine after having it serviced twice and still having the same
TENSION problem. eRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Can I buy an adapter to allow my sisters era 1972 Singer 513 to use my presser feet? Her Shank
is definitely long, skinny and straight. What is the purpose of an Adapter if not to use on a different machine?
Thanks!!! Looking forward to the virtual advertised for this month! Computerized, here I come!
I bought a single brilliant machine from Walmart the accessory that shows on the video I did not receive these things how can I go about getting these accessories please let me know
Your videos are much in detail and loved the info you have.I am looking at getting back on stitching and want to know if singer promise 1412 has a high or low shank and is it worth investing.
Hi is it true that on singer highspeed sewing machine can't be replace the foot?
Sorry, my singer is Tradition 2273 not 2277! I was asking if it is a low shank machine or not? Thank you.
So question, if I have a skinny low shank adapter, which doesn't allow most of the presser feet I have to attach because the bars are too small. Is there an adapter I can buy for my singer to use the other feet?
thanks - that really clears things up
I have a Singer 4562 machine that doesn't have a presser foot. I would like to get a snap on shank with feet for it but can't find what will fit and work. Can you suggest what I need? Thanks in advance.
THANK YOU!!!!
Of course I have a skinny ANGLE shank....
thank god for this video site because it sure anserwed all the questiuon about the nock offs that some places try to sell to people! good way to mess up your sewing machine NO THANK YOU !
great video thank you so much
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
I do not see any apps for "sewing parts online" in my phone (play store) like other people have. By the way you remind me of one of my niece.
I owned a Singer 6233 sewing machine and all my presser foot has been broken every time I sew. At least now I have a clue on the shank type but just in case, can you show a video on how to see if my machine is using low shank or high shank? Appreciate it so much. Thank you!
I don't have a video specifically on that; however, if you put your presser foor lifter down and measure from the middle of the presser foot screw to the needle plate, that can help you determine the shank. If it is around 1/2 inch, it is low shank; around 1 inch, it would be high shank. If it is more than that, it's possibly a slant shank. I verified your machine is a slant shank.
I have a Singer Talent and it seems to fit the regular feet
I have a standard Singer low shank model 4832C. It came with the non-slant proprietary snap on adapter. So, if I have this right, the feet I have been buying for it that do not snap on SHOULD work with the "standard" one you showed at the beginning of the video. Is that right? THANK YOU!
I own a singer 201-2 which has a screw on low shank feet. I want to know if I can get a low shank snap on adapter to use snap on presser feet. I like the brother low shank press behind button to drop the snap feet. I don’t like the long tail on the low shank snap on adapter. So please tell me if it will fit my machine. I’m tired of screwing and unscrewing the presser feet to my Singer 201-2! Please let me know soon thanks!!
I have had my Singer MErritt 4525 for 30 something years now and JUST recently started to get other feeet and I realised this was a problem. SOOO confusing. So.. Question.. can I just go and get the universal adapter (the first one you showed) and just buy new feet to to work with that system???
Can you help me..i have high shank adaptor.just bought presser feet,it fits but the needle hits the presser foot.
I have an old Singer CG-550 machine which comes with a skinny straight shank adapter. Can I swap this out for regular adapter so I can use presser feet with a wider bar? It seems like there are more feet available with the wider bar.
Is there a way to use a different shank on a Singer machine? Can you screw on a different shank, so that you can use the regular universal presser feet?
Yes. What is the model of your Singer and I will be happy to reply with a link?
Good stuff, thanks for the info... cute lady!
I have the Singer Touch & Sew 600e. I have feet in both types but no adapter for either. I have tried a regular long shank which is to long. Also a short shaft which is to short. How do I know which one to get.? Thank you
I would like to find out what feet you have that will be my newer Singer machine, the 9980 model. Is that on your website or facebook page? Can you give me the links?
What shank is a brother pacesetter 6500? Where and how do I get this from your site? I need the screw and presser foot holders.
Hi! Your machine is a low shank. The following presser foot adapter and screw will likely work for you: www.sewingpartsonline.com/presser-foot-shank-babylock-brother-xe2555101.aspx (adapter) www.sewingpartsonline.com/presser-foot-screw-babylock-brother-132730122.aspx (screw). I cannot guarantee this adapter, but I have many Brother machines and this is the one I generally use. If it does not work for you, you're more than welcome to send it back, but I am 99% sure you won't have to!
Help! I snapped off the pressure foot from the shank and I can’t get it to snap back on It’s the skinny shank(shorter one) and the skinny foot (center groove close together). I unscrewed all from the machine and snapped the two pieces apart. Was trying to snap on zipper foot Now I can’t get just the regular foot to snap back on. 6217C Singer. Yes it’s ancient but all I need for my simple projects. Can you help? Happy to call if that would help. Need number. Thanks
Hi, I have skinny low adapter on my old 2808 C Singer, can I use Low shank adapter for the generic foot presser? thank you!
can I change on my SInger the snapon adaptor with a regular which is thicker?
Hi 🙂
Curious, Is a Singer Sewing Machine model #HD6380 a low shank machine? If not are there adaptors for the Singer Flower foot?
Your machine is a low shank. I have been unable to find a guaranteed flower stitch foot; however, we do have a generic one. Please note, you will need to remove the foot (including the adapter) and screw this foot on. www.sewingpartsonline.com/flower-stitch-foot-low-shank-fsf.aspx
I needed to replace the adapter for my singer seeing machine 2630C , checked with the part site that showed that part 44601-1 was compatible with that model. I ordered same but I cannot get the pressor feet to fit on. Can you please let me know what shank will fit ? Thank you
Oftentimes, a generic shank was changed out at some point and that is the reason the new shank isn't working. I normally recommend 446014. It comes with the shank and 2 corresponding feet. That eliminates the guesswork. It is currently out of stock; however, you can still place your order and we would ship it just as soon as it arrives in. I hope this helps. www.sewingpartsonline.com/low-shank-snap-on-foot-kit-singer.aspx
Hello, I am trying to see some of the products on your site but I don’t seem to succeed. Is your site not compatible with mobile devices? I tried 2 different browsers…
Our website is compatible with mobile. Are you still having this issue? We hope it's been resolved! Let us know :)
What singer even feed foot will work with my "vintage" singer 6233?
We offer a generic walking foot with guide that works great with your model. It can be purchased via the link: www.sewingpartsonline.com/walking-foot-slant-quilting-p60448.aspx
How do you get the feet off the adapter, when there isn't a release button on the back??? I have just bought a vintage singer 258.
Some of the presser feet for the older Singers are all one piece; there isn't an adapter. However, if it does have snap on feet and the adapter doesn't have a button, you can lift the presser foot lifter to put your foot in the high position. Next, you can push down on the snap on foot and it will pop off.
@@SewingPartsOnlineThanks 👍
Does Singer make a ruler foot for the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 sewing machine?
I have been unable to locate a guaranteed option; however, after cross-referencing, I see that your machine has a low shank. We do offer a low shank ruler foot that you could try. It can be purchased via this link: www.sewingpartsonline.com/westalee-design-ruler-foot-only.aspx?variant_id=286675 Please note, it is currently out of stock, but by placing your order, that would secure a spot in line for the next one that comes in.
HELP-I have the skinny low shank on my machine but cannot for the life of me get the feet onto it. IS there a magic trick involved, it does not just snap on?!!! ANYBODY?
Do you ship to the UK please.Can anyone tell me? Thankyou
How do I know what size shank my machine has? Singer 4423.
Your manual, unfortunately, doesn't state what shank it is; however, looking it up, it is a low shank. Here is a link for a replacement shank: www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-parts-4423.aspx Also, here are some compatible feet for your machine: www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-parts-4423.aspx?filter.ptype_gmcfeed_1=%20Presser%20Feet&index=1
I think they have shot themselves in the foot with these new shanks. the market is already hostile towards Singer with their reputation slipping. If people end up confused and unable to buy feet they will just move to other brands of machine :(
You make an interesting point. I know these feet have frustrated many people.
Oh my... I'm still confused but I think it I watch this a few more times with my feet in hand I may get it... I want to order a stitch in ditch foot and a 1/4 inch foot for my singer 3221. However after watching this I'm wondering if the ones I have to my jamome 4800 (which is out of commission at moment) will work? Thanks you for detailed directions in this video.
Can that low shank adapter fit a home sewing machine? 0:26
It will work with many home machines, but not all. What is the make and model of your machine?
@@SewingPartsOnline I have a Singer Home sewing machine model 57817C - 621B, I actually may have found an adapter I need that I picked up yesterday from 38th Street. (NYC)
Singer that is repulsive. Thank you for the information
They like to keep us on our toes!
Carol Menton This is odd because I have a Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 and it doesn’t have those issues. It does have a low shank but regular snap on feet work on it. And I purchased my machine in 2013.
Can it possible using any adaptor to fit low shank and slim shank
Unfortunately, there aren't any adapters that function as both a slant shank and a low shank adapter.
@@SewingPartsOnline Is it possible to use any adapter at all, which would allow the use of more "universal" presser feet?
I recently bought an old Singer 6211C with the Singer "Skinny" Low Shank Snap On Adapter you mention. I just want to be able to use universal presser feet. Is that possible?
I can't tell online.
Hi mam i want to buy all singer discmat sewing machine feet and embroidery foot but how i can bought it please tell me about this
My machine model no 1288 this is singer discmat sewing machine
42 feet kit is use in this modle
Guide me please
Price in pakistan rupees
We do appreciate your interest, but I am sorry to report, we no longer are able to ship to Pakistan. We recently revised our international shipping policy and are only able to ship to a select few countries at this time. This decision was based on an increase of lost packages and extremely long shipping delays. I am sorry for any inconvenience.
I have a Singer 6215 which uses the "skinny snap on shank". Do you know if I can just buy a regular snap on shank and put it on my singer?
I bought a large set of snap on feet without realizing they wouldn't work with my current skinny shank. It would be a lot cheaper and easier to buy a new shank instead of a whole new set of snap on feet.
Thanks.
I've seen a lot of people use this low shank adapter in place of the skinny adapter - it gives you the opportunity to use many different snap-on presser feet: www.sewingpartsonline.com/shank-standard-snap-on-low-presser-foot.aspx
Sewing Parts Online thanks!
complicated
I gave up on singer and like brother a lot better
We're seeing that switch more and more.
