Darning / Free Motion Foot for Singer Slant Needle (Slant Shank) Machines
Singer Part Number: 384037
This versatile darning foot, also known as a free motion foot, is designed for Singer slant needle sewing machines, featuring plastic construction with a metal spring mechanism. The foot moves up and down with the needle, allowing complete freedom of fabric movement for artistic techniques like free motion quilting, free motion embroidery, monograms, and thread painting. Essential for quilters and creative sewers who want to move fabric freely in any direction.
Key Features:
- Plastic construction with metal spring mechanism
- Foot moves with needle for free fabric movement
- Allows fabric to move freely in any direction
- Perfect for free motion quilting and embroidery
- Enables intricate designs, monograms, and thread painting
- Compatible with Singer slant needle (slant shank) machines
Perfect For:
- Free Motion Quilting: Smooth movement over quilt layers for stippling, meandering, and custom quilting designs
- Free Motion Embroidery: Follow drawn patterns on fabric for artistic embroidery
- Monograms: Create intricate monograms by going over the same area multiple times
- Thread Painting: Use thread to paint artistic designs on fabric
- Darning and Repairs: Repair holes and worn areas in fabric
How the Free Motion Mechanism Works:
The darning foot features a metal spring mechanism that causes the foot to move up and down with the needle. When the needle goes down into the fabric, the foot lifts slightly, allowing you to move the fabric freely in any direction. When the needle comes up, the foot lowers to hold the fabric in place for the next stitch. This design ensures smooth movement and free passage for the fabric while maintaining enough control to prevent skipped stitches. Unlike a standard presser foot that holds fabric firmly in place, the darning foot gives you complete creative control over fabric movement.
Using the Foot:
- Lower or Cover Feed Dogs: Drop feed dogs or cover them with a plate so they don't interfere with free fabric movement
- Attach Foot: Install darning/free motion foot on your slant needle machine
- Set Stitch: Select straight stitch. Some machines have a specific free motion or darning setting
- Position Fabric: Place fabric (or quilt sandwich) under foot. For quilting, use a hoop or your hands to control fabric
- Begin Stitching: Lower presser foot lever (even though foot moves freely). Start sewing and move fabric smoothly in any direction
- Control Speed: Maintain consistent speed while moving fabric to create even stitches
Benefits:
- Creative Freedom: Move fabric in any direction for unlimited design possibilities
- Versatile Applications: Quilting, embroidery, monograms, thread painting, and darning
- Spring Mechanism: Foot moves with needle for smooth fabric movement and stitch formation
- Artistic Expression: Create custom designs, follow patterns, and paint with thread
- Essential for Quilters: Must-have foot for free motion quilting techniques
Tips for Best Results:
- Always lower or cover feed dogs before using this foot
- Practice on scrap fabric to develop smooth, consistent fabric movement
- Maintain steady sewing speed while moving fabric for even stitch length
- Move fabric smoothly—jerky movements create uneven stitches
- For quilting, use quilting gloves or a hoop to control fabric layers
- Perfect for stippling, meandering, and custom quilting designs
- Excellent for following drawn patterns for free motion embroidery
- Spring mechanism ensures foot moves with needle for proper stitch formation
