A large number of people have discovered the benefits of older sewing machines. Whether it's because they are simple enough to maintain and repair with common handtools, or strong enough to sew thicker fabrics without hesitation, or just because they are plentiful, cheap, and fun to collect. This site is dedicated to passing on information to make your experience more enjoyable.

Another "What-Is-It" Item
I bought these presser feet on eBay years ago. I believe they were listed as Viking quilting feet. Since Kathie is a quilter and the price was right, I picked them up in case I later ran across a Viking that they would fit. I never did and now it's time to bid them farewell but I really don't know what they are. I have Googled images for "embroidery foot" and "quilting foot" with no positive results. Can anyone help?

I hope this link works. It's a picture of a jumble of vintage Viking/Husq feet and there is a similar (but not identical) foot there, front and left: http://www.pinsdaddy.com/husqvarna-viking-designer-i-1-ii-2-sewing-machine-service-repair_AsGKyqK6ze3PUaG0d7a%7CjiaFpNbLhFQTFiTGWGmfXbSiE6olQe*WQbojvc40TzAA5VXq%7CYIaA6ZBHim9kXnZPg/cU%7CYpN9YAePMbsEgKdvni9lvxQgRRu7C3QzozceDqozWmH0uqSuDVrClZVAy63II7Ap3pCzGSOs1iWNYtti0or%7CXP8HKAaAE1NhqD8SjTUHYWcdRwTka*CsqI7qGrasgWhZx5VOlj9VMM4506YMHDxJrKfAo6*QP5*z*OfgIdHTmwAUBP0D79bsVE7eYNPVUTZiglTCiLajdbH*NneSrVQ/
ReplyDeleteIt's a vintage Viking/Husq darning foot! Found another at Statewide Sewing. Here's the link:

I have a few older Viking Husqvarna machines but no feet that look like that. Trying to figure out how they would even attach! I wonder if they required an adapter to attach to the presser bar?
ReplyDeleteLisa, aha- so it is a snap on then.
ReplyDeleteAnother view- see page 38 of the pdf "Viking Owners Handbook 6000 Series" at the link. There is a brief description of how to use the foot:
