Thank you very much!! :) Last week I had purchased a box of old parts while out antiquing (crossing my fingers, legs, heck... even my eyes, lol) hoping that the parts would work on my new machine. Fast forward to today pick'n through my box of goodies, and I had absolutely no clue what this part was til I saw your video.~ Again, thank you~ Much Blessings~ Tree.
Thank you very much for this video this will be a HUGE help as I practice with my vintage singer and accesories. For those that whine about the music- Theres this thing called a VOLUME CONTROL, learn to use it and you wont need to display your ignorance in the comment section.
I actually have the manual for the machine this foot come from. The salient information: "Place cloth under the hemmer and draw the edge toward the left under the scale, as shown in fig. 33. Draw the edge of the cloth back and forth until the fold of the hem is formed, stopping with the end under the needle. Lower the presser bar and commence to sew, being careful to so guide the cloth as to keep the hemmer full." You can also do wider hemming with this attachment.
great video. I'm just starting to practice with mine and yours was the only video I could find to help. So I made one too! When we both get better I think we should come back and update!
nice video, I have the same attachment, and I didn't mind the music at all, thanks for sharing. And John Fewell if you tried it and it worked great maybe you want mind sharing a video with us so we can see your adjustable hem presser foot in action.
Thanks for the video!!! I would strongly suggest adding some tags indicating that this is an "Adjustable hem presser foot". This is a somewhat unique 1924 vintage design and there very few resources out there showing how to use this particular foot. :)
This gives the general idea, but it would be nice to see how a nice, flat accurate, turned under hem could be achieved. When I tried it on pants I had puckers, and found that side seams will not feed through this mechanism, so extra steps are needed to deal with those. It did put the stitches nicely on the edge, but the results were otherwise awful. Also, as you return to the starting point, you have to remove it or it would get stuck in the hem. What am I missing? Music is okay!
Thank you, I have exactly the same part, but the number is different, mine is Simanco 35931. I do you or anyone else know why this is? I love the music by the way, Steve M could mute if he is tone deaf!
This is not the 36594 part (www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/simanco/36594/) but the 35931 one (www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/simanco/35931/). I finally found how to use the foot today. It is important not to use a heavy fabric, I'll put a video online for explaining how to use this foot. See the result here imageshack.com/a/img743/4803/04HJH0.jpg
Okay, from studying Fig. 33 in the manual I have, it seems like this video demo is not correct in terms of how the fabric is fed through the foot: The cloth is supposed to be already turned when you feed it through, the foot does not turn it for you. The hemmer foot that comes with this machine does turn the fabric, but not this one. So the hem should be folded over twice, not once as shown in this video. I just tried it, and it works well!
Is it really okay to use a foot designed for a straight shank on this slant?! There doesn't seem to be much contact between the foot and the feed dogs. I don't have a slant, but others might want to consider this issue.
This is just what I was looking for. You did a great job of (Close-Ups). Thank you for what you have given me.

Thanks, just what I needed tonight!

Just an FYI the measurements are in 8th. so 6 would be 6/8th or 3/4 of an inch not 1/6th. Just an Math teacher who sews and uses sewing to teach math.
Thanks for that clarification, it explains a lot!
Sorry people! this foot is not the one I said! it is SIMANCO 35931!! SORRY SORRY SORRY!
