Just a Quick Note

We have added a few more fun sewing goodies, and wanted to make you aware of a couple of them. 

The Low-Shank Snap-On Adapter allows you to use some of your Snap-On feet from your newer, regular sewing machine on your low-shank Singer Featherweight!

Low-Shank Snap-On Attachment Adaptor
Slide the adapter onto your Featherweight Sewing Machine shank and attach it with the thumb screw as you normally would.  Then with the little lever at the back of the adapter, you can attach and release the Snap-On Attachments.

Bernina Sewing Machine owners can now have some of the Featherweight Attachment fun, too!  Have you been feeling a bit left out when it comes to some of the old, vintage Singer feet?  Well, here is the perfect adapter that will allow you to test and sample some of the retro-fitting Singer Attachments.  Nothing is holding you back now... why not try the Tucker, the Shirring Foot, or perhaps the Edge Stitcher!
