Zig Zag Attachment for Vintage Sewing Machines
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лис 2020
- Most vintage sewing machines are straight stitch only and lack the capability of producing a zig zag stitch.
This clever little attachment allows any straight stitch machine to create zig zag stitches, which must be the most useful stitch after the straight stitch.

I really don't understand why this channel doesn't have 10-100 times more subscribers. It's my favorite channel for the all things vintage sewing machine!
You're so kind. I'm glad to be of help.
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns from where we can get this foot sir plz give link sir plz reply
I’m definitely subscribing. I bought a vintage singer, I love it but I wish it was more than a straight stitch and now I know where to go with help of things. :)
Me too.. I hv antique and vintage
Amen
Very clear and concise instructions for using the zigzag attachment. Thank you!
Thank you. I’m glad you found it useful.
I have been searching for years to find an affordable zig zag attachment for my machine. So jealous! lol Thanks for sharing.
I found this one in with other accessories with an old machine I bought. They do come up occasionally on ebay.
That is so stinking clever! I feel like the people who came up with these attachments were really having fun inventing little tiny things for sewing machines.
I so want this, even though I have no real problem with hand finishing my seams when necessary.
Of all other videos on YT, yours is very detailed, short and sharp... thank you so much. I hope this attachment is available in the market here in my country.
I'm glad to be of help!
Thanks to your video I was able to use my zigzagger for the first time today!
You’re welcome
You're welcome.
Thank you very much for this knowledge.
🎉Thank you for helping me learn how to. Work the zigzag attachment.

What a fabulous foot! I love the way it works.
wow that is ingenious! I need one for my vintage manual singer..
Wonderful! This is one of the few that I didn't know about. Thank you.

This is fascinating, I just started sewing and this is awesome
Well I needed to know how these work, thanks Curio.
I bought this attachment after seeing your video here. I will update my comment when I have tested it. Thank you. Beats having a second machine set up at all times.
Where can i buy that kind of attachment?
Where did you order that from?
Thank you so much for this.... you super do it
Thank you so much for this, and your other videos - so helpful and informative! I just obtained this model, a CMI Inc. Chadwick patent zigzagger. I'm looking forward to trying it out!
Have fun with it! Glad you enjoy my videos!
Hai saya dari Indonesia dimanakah saya bisa mendapatkan alat ini terima kasih
Wooow this is amazing! Thank you for this amazing video❤️
You're welcome!
Amazing love this! I just found your channel of course I have subscribed.❤
Thank you for subscribing - there's much more to come in the future!
thank you
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😁Awesome thank you so much
Nicely presented as usual. I have one of these for my 15-91, it is more useful for decorative stitching, not so much for repairs, mending or general sewing, that is best left to a ZZ machine such as a 401a where the needle moves, not the fabric.
I have a 15-91 why do you say it’s not good for general sewing?
By general sewing, I mean repairs and zig-zag stitching that is structural. The ZZ attachment , like the buttonholer, moves the fabric or garment being sewed which is not ideal. I'm not saying it won't work...it's actually an amazing piece of kit...but if you have access to a ZZ machine, you'll be better served and have more control over your project.
Where can i bay one
Super
I love your channel! Any chance you could do more in "attachment" videos? I have purchased a lot of vintage attachments (which I think are brilliant!) but I'm not sure how to use most. Just a thought from a fan. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm hoping to do a whole series of videos on presser feet and attachments soon!
Where did u get it, can u share
It does a great job, I have to get one! What is the part number so I know what to look for? Thank you so much!
Looks like there is a patent number under the foot. Can you please let me know what it is? Thanks
Thanks for useful video, only caveat, I would have liked to see how it did zigzag on the edges, to stop seam edges fraying, which is what I mostly use zigzag for? Is it trickier when the fabric is being shaken from side to side, can you still keep the stitches on the edge? Otherwise very good, especially the extra info about it doing straight stitch too, to save feet changes :)
To be honest. I'm not much of a sewer so I haven't really explored this attachment much - but I must try!
Thank you for that - it is nice to see one being demonstrated to show a range of stitch widths and lengths. I've got one which looks just the same, but it came with something that looks similar to the edger - but is more robust and the "ups and downs" are more pronounced. Apparently it is used for when you want to zig-zag two things together (eg, lace-to-lace or fabric-to-lace-to-fabric like an insertion). Do you one of those with yours and, if you do, would you have any hints (or another video if I'm very lucky!) on how to use it, please? Ta... Megan
I think I have that attachment. I'll look into doing a video soon.
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns Awesome! I know you'll have a To Do List as long as your arm so that's very kind of you. :-) I've subscribed because I find I keep watching your vids all the time. Thank you!
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns Hello again! I've been playing with mine just trying to zig-zag and I'm having a really difficult time getting a good stitch (nothing half as nice as yours!). I'm getting better at steering (it's a hand-crank, so all one-handed) but it seems no matter how I tinker with foot pressure and upper and lower tensions I can't find the "sweet spot". And if I get something kind-of-reasonable front-and-back (if you only see it on a galloping horse) then as soon as I change stitch length or width it all goes cattawampus.
If you do get time to make that other video one day (or even if you don't) I think many of us out there who find themselves in possession of one of these would love just to hear about any tips or tricks you've got that made you get such good stitching. (And of course - if you don't get time I understand - perhaps some other readers who have mastered this particular critters might have some tips.) Ta... Megan
Thanks for an informative video. Do you know if a Singer brand foot will fit into other machines, like a Jones CS family series. Or will I need to buy a other brands Thanks in advance!
As long as the machine is 'low shank' then it will fit. Not sure about the Jones CS, I know the used different needles.
Great video! This one I'm using is skipping stitches quite often. How to fix this? It won't do a straight stitch either. When fully tightened, it's doing a small zig zag still. I wonder if it's broken or needs adjusting somehow?
They can be temperamental. Check your tension and the presser foot pressure.
Thank you for this video. Do you know where I can order one of these by chance.
I would try eBay or similar selling sites.
I'll be darn. I had no idea
I like this part thanks iwant bye this parts i live nepal were is machine shop.
good stuff where can I get one of these? Im in Nova Scotia Canada
try ebay, I think there is still a version of this being made
From where I can buy that attachment sir
Where is available place sir
Where can i buy this?
How would you compare the Chadwick to the Greist zigzagger with changeable decorative discs?
Unfortunately I have not tried the Greist zigzagger so I can’t offer any advice only that the Chadwick is a simple device so I would expect the Greist to be better.
Hi I've recently bought one of these but the zig zags are small & the thread keeps breaking could you give me any tips on how to improve the performance I'm using a 185k
There's an adjustment at the back for the width of the zig zag although it will still be narrower than zig zags done on a modern machine. You may need to loosen the top tension a little.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Where can I find this attachment please ?
Can you please give the link how to purchase this? I stay in India.
hi, good job, very interesting video. Why is your motor so quiet?
I don't know. Is it quiet?
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns yes My engine before i leave struggles a little and makes a very unpleasant sound
@@gianlucaurso9753 check to see if your motor requires grease - some do. See if the belt is too tight.
So … does this work on the older treadle style machines?
Yes, any low shank, straight stitch machine.
I have a 50's White Sewing Machine, do you know if this zigzag attachment will work for my machine?
If it's a standard low shank machine, then yes. We didn't get White machines here in the UK so i'm not familiar with them.
Where can i get it
I have just got this attachment for my Singer 99k but it sits very low and I can barely get the fabric under the foot. Is there a way to adjust this? Thank you!
It sounds like your presser bar may be too low. I don't think there's any way to adjust the height of the attachment. Try reducing the presser bar pressure.
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns thank you I’ll try and find a video to do this! Thank you
Where can i get this
I have a rotary machine, circa 1950 where the presser foot attaches via a knurled knob; Your zig-zag attaches via the side. Is there a zig-zag attachment model for my rotary machine?
I have never heard if one. The top clamping machines, like your Rotary, are early machines that probably predate zig zag stitching.
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns Finally, found Zig Zag attachment for top knurled nut model. New Home. Free Westinghouse.
Where do you find a smart thing like this? Is it hard to sew with?
It came with the accessories with a machine. I believe they are available new on line. They are quite easy to use.
Where can I one to buy please. What is the name of this foot.
Does it work on all vintage singer?
any low shank Singer - not the slant o matics
I don't know if that will work?
can I use that in my industrial sewing machine?
no. This is a low shank fitting. Industrial machines are usually high shank
how can avail that device
What sewing machines does this attachment fit. I'm trying to find one for a 1923 new home sewing machine. Singer seems to dominate the field.
This will fit any low shank machine.
I like this attachment, please how can I get it to my country
Try ebay
Do they make soMr thing like this for an industrial machine
I haven't come across anything. I think they would have had specific industrial zig zag machines.
Hola lo puedo pregunta sabes.donde encontre un productos lo tiene la pagina web por favor
Este es un artículo de época. No creo que ya se produzcan.
Any chance this would work on a 1916 Treadle 16K 115?
I'm not familiar with the 16K, but as long as it is a low shank and side clamping machine, then it should work.
An enormous thingamabob came with my Singer 404 called a zigzagger, but this is more elegant. Would it work on a Slant machine?
Class this foot be kept on the machine all the time for straight stitch and occasional zig zag? Or will this put additional strain on the needle or mechanism?
Personally I wouldn’t keep it on the machine. It’s a bit cumbersome for me.
Thank you, my zig zag needs are not great, so using it just when needed wouldn't be too difficult.
Thanks very helpful video
Where it is available?
I am living in India online I checked
I couldn't find any such mechanism
If you can send address it will be very helpful.
These are vintage attachments, probably over 50 years old and are not made any more. Try ebay for used ones.
Can I attach for normal sewing machine of ralson company
As long as the machine is straight stitch only and low shank fitting then yes.
I am looking for a Zig Zag Attachment and Ruffler for a singer 221 / 222 Sewing machine...Have you any advice ..Thanks
Most low shank attachments will fit a 221/222
Cannot get low shank ...plenty of high shanks
@@boradruma Low shank is the most common - most newer machines use low shank.
Can we buy these online on Flipkart or Amazon?
sushrusha jadhav I think modern versions are available but this it a vintage item. You may find them on eBay or etsy.
From Where can I get one like this zegzagger...????
This came with a second hand sewing machine but I believe they are available on Amazon or eBay.
How can ı buy this zigzag atcmt. ??
I think they are still available. Search on line
Hi, hello I'm interesting to buy this attachment. I have a Singer 221. Do you sell it?
No sorry, it's a vintage attachment. You could try Etsy or eBay
Any idea where one can purchase one of these?
These haven't been made for many years, so look out for them at flea markets, second hand and vintage stores, eBay or specialist vintage sewing machine dealers
Thanks, I'll do just that.@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns
Hi this attachment is no longer available. Wonder you have the assembly drawings here? I can make one instead :)
Unfortunately not. They do come up on eBay and Etsy occasionally.
how can i avail that attachment for ordering please i need like that thanks
I don't think you can buy these new. Only used on ebay etc.
How to buy this product?. From India.
Check ebay and amazon.
Where to find this accessory
try on-line - these are vintage attachment. I don't think they are available new anymore.
Where do I buy one of these
Ebay
pls provide me the purchase link
this is not for sale
What is the number of this foot, please?
It's a non branded foot. There is no part number
Found one! It is a Chadwick Zigzagger
Let me know how you get on with it!
@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns Well unfortunately it is truely only for a low shank machine and mine is high shank. I was determined to get it to work so I found a high shank zigzagger on Amazon which was trash. However since it had the proper geometry, I literally welded the Chadwick mechanisim on to the foot and arm bar. Made a custom adjustmant for it and got it to work. It's still a hack though since a true zigzag has at least 2 stitches in each direction where as these gadgets only give you one. I'm working my way up to being able to do them freehand i.e. feed dogs disabled. A lot of work I know, when you can get multi-stitch machines these days for low $$$. I guess I want to try to get as good as my grandma was on her straight stitch machine 🙂
@@danacandella5416 You certainly are resourceful! I appreciate the challenge is often better than a shortcut.
I’m grateful for both this video and the Chadwick mention! I was able to find one on Ebay for use on my Singer99k. Thank you!
How much need me
I don't know if my mother's kids ruined her attachments since they can't Sew and design clothes etc
What's the part number?
There isn't one, unfortunately
Where can i get this
ebay or Facebook marketplace. This is a vintage item not available new.
