I have a Singer model 9420 and cannot get the presser foot to work, it sits at an angle to the feed dogs. Is it the wrong presser foot for my machine?

I'm fairly sure the Singer 9420 is a slant shank so this is definitely not the right foot for your machine. If the 9420 is not a slant shank, then there may be something wrong with the foot itself. I have an upright shank and the foot does sit very slightly upward using this rolled hem foot, but definitely not at any severe angle as to cause an issue feeding fabric through.

I got this answer through google. Maybe it will work for you: Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Unthread the machine, top and bottom. Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot, lower the foot, and "sew". Does the needle move? If not, check that the bobbin winder is off. Does the paper move? If not, check the stitch length is set to something reasonable (like 3 mm instead of 0 or 0.5mm), and that the feed dogs are raised (check the manual for the section on raising or lowering the feed dogs or free motion embroidery or free motion quilting) Still no luck? Pull the needleplate and do a good cleaning (vacuum and brush only, please -- compressed air just forces the lint in further) especially around the feed dogs and in the bobbin case area. Lubricate if the manual directs. Works on paper, doesn't work when you thread up? Are you starting the seam correctly, and making sure you hang on to the thread ends for the first couple of stitches? Here are some stitching issues caused by not threading correctly and/or not starting the seam correctly: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/vi... Notice that the last pair of photos illustrates a jam that was so bad it brought my machine to a halt -- caused by incorrect seam starting and poor threading. (pictures are in pairs... blue thread on top, red thread in the bobbin.) If you still can't get it to work, it's probably repair shop time... it's probably going to need parts or more adjustment than you can do, or you've missed a spot in extracting jammed thread bits. Over the years I've seen two machines that were really unable to transport fabrics... one had a broken linkage to the feed dogs, and the other had fractured a feed dog (and I'm still not sure how that happened!)

Yes it will. I have the singer confidence quilter and it fits. I also have two basic singer models that it fits. I bought this one and I also bought an all metal one. Both are great. My preference is the all metal darning/quilting foot. But there is no performance issue. It's metal and I am getting older and my eyes see it better.

I purchased this foot for my Singer model 7466 and it did fit. Don't know about any other models. Hope this helps. Good luck!!

I love this foot, however I have a Singer One and am not certain this will fit your model. You might want to check the website and make certain it will work.

Hi Joyce Ann, I ordered this foot by mistake, I needed one that fit a 1600p-dbx...this one did not fit. I contacted Ken's Sewing Center and they were very helpful in getting me the correct foot, however it was more expensive. If Ken's Sewing Center is the seller, I would say, call them to ask and make sure before you purchase it. I did get the correct foot for my machine and I love it! Good Luck, Aimee

i can't guarantee that but i would imagine so. i have a Brother machine and this fits fine. the machine i learned on, a Singer from the 1960s, would not have accepted this due to the way the presser foot was a single piece. if your machine allows you to switch the foot w/o removing the screw and taking off the entire mechanism i would imagine this would work...

A presser foot comes with the machine. It's probably a bit smaller than a standard presser foot, but I've had no problems using it.

Hi Brenda, I have a Husqvarna/Viking Daisy and Sapphire and am not familiar with your Singer. Some sellers include what machines are compatible with their attachments. I had to file the needle hole down a bit so the needle on my machine wouldn't hit the attachment at the needle hole and break off. I was very, very careful doing this.

I have one on my Singer. Not the same model but the foot does seem like it is universal.

Hi Senovia, I am not sure about your model but if it uses is a low shank, snap on presser foot, this should work. I hope this helps. Celeste

You have to read the error code ( 4 beeps ) in the trouble section guide. Then follow their instructions step by step. I have a singer 6180 and one time I forgot to switch the bobbin stick back after filled the thread. It did not sew as well. Good Luck, Paul

I am sorry but really can't say for sure...when I bought mine I typed in my model number in the search and then it was listed in the description. It is not a universal foot so don't know if it will work for all Singer machines.

I have a short shank Singer and it works fine , I would think if your machine uses other "generic " short shank type feet it would be fine

If your model uses snap on feet it should work just fine. Works great on my Singer.

Alright, people, this is how you know whether these feet will fit your exact model of sewing machine: 1. If your machine has a short shank, then yes. See the description of the product where it says it is for short shank machines. 2. If your machine has a long shank or a slant shank, then they won't fit. How do you know what kind of shank your machine has? 1. Look it up on one of these nifty charts: https://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/shank_chart1.html or https://www.anniescatalog.com/pages/shank_chart2.html . 2. If your machine isn't on those lists, like the Singer Promise 1408 in the question, then measure your machine manually. Here is a guide on how to measure your machine: http://imagehost.vendio.com/c/10003275/view/1085137796347_feet_info.jpg . Now, should any of these links go dead, just Google "sewing shank chart" or "sewing shank measurement" like a competent internet user, instead of endlessly pestering other buyers to figure it out for you.

I don't know. My old machine was a singer. These seem pretty standard as machine needles go. When I insert the needle, the 'front' has an vertical indentation and I can see the hole through which I pass the thread. (Way back in the 70s, my 4-H teacher showed me this vertical indentation on the needle.) On the top shaft, the back is flat and the front is round. I would guess these will work provided the needles in your machine look similar.
