Straight Stitch Foot for Singer Slant Needle (Slant Shank) Machines
Part Number: 170071
This specialized straight stitch foot is designed for Singer slant needle sewing machines, featuring durable all-metal hinged construction with a long narrow slot. When paired with your machine's straight stitch needle plate (which has a small round hole), this foot provides maximum fabric support right at the point where the needle enters, preventing puckering, flagging, and fabric from being pushed into the needle plate. This is the primary presser foot for straight stitch only machines like the Singer 301 and 404, and essential for precision straight stitching, topstitching, edge stitching, and quilting on all compatible models.
Key Features:
- All-metal hinged construction for long-lasting durability
- Long narrow slot designed for straight stitch needle plates
- Works with straight stitch needle plate's small round hole for maximum fabric support
- Prevents puckering and flagging on delicate and heavy fabrics
- Flat underside ensures even pressure and smooth fabric feeding
- Primary foot for straight stitch only machines (301, 404)
- Compatible with Singer slant needle (slant shank) machines
Perfect For:
- Straight Stitch Only Machines: Primary presser foot for Singer 301 and 404 straight stitch machines
- Topstitching: Precision straight stitching for professional-looking topstitching
- Edge Stitching: Accurate stitch placement along edges and seams
- Quilting: Ideal for quilting and hand-look quilting stitches with uniform formation
- Delicate Fabrics: Prevents lightweight fabrics from puckering or being pushed into needle plate
- Narrow Seams: Perfect for sewing very narrow, precise seams
How the Straight Stitch System Works:
The straight stitch foot features a long narrow slot that works in conjunction with your machine's straight stitch needle plate, which has a small round hole. This combination provides maximum support for the fabric right at the point where the needle enters. Unlike an all-purpose foot and zigzag needle plate with a wide opening, this system prevents lightweight, delicate, or even heavy, smoothly woven fabrics from "flagging" (buckling and getting pushed down into a wider hole). The needle plate's small round hole provides the critical support, while the foot's long narrow slot allows smooth fabric feeding. By providing more support, this system allows threads to lock more uniformly, resulting in a better-looking, more consistent straight stitch.
Using the Foot:
- Install Straight Stitch Needle Plate: Ensure your machine has the straight stitch needle plate installed (small round hole, not zigzag plate)
- Attach Foot: Install straight stitch foot on your slant needle machine using all-metal hinged shank
- Set Machine: Select center-position straight stitch on your machine
- Position Fabric: Place fabric under foot. Needle plate's small round hole provides maximum support at needle entry point
- Sew: Stitch with confidence—fabric won't pucker or flag into needle plate
- Enjoy Results: Uniform, professional-looking straight stitches with no puckering
Benefits:
- Prevents Puckering: Needle plate's small round hole supports fabric, preventing buckling and flagging
- Precision Stitching: Ensures accurate stitch placement for topstitching and edge stitching
- Improved Stitch Quality: Uniform thread locking creates better-looking, more consistent stitches
- Smooth Feeding: Long narrow slot and flat underside allow fabric to glide smoothly
- Essential for 301 & 404: Primary presser foot for straight stitch only machines
- Versatile: Perfect for delicate fabrics, heavy fabrics, quilting, and precision work
Important Usage Note:
Straight Stitch Needle Plate Required: This foot must be used with a straight stitch needle plate (small round hole). It will not work properly with a zigzag needle plate (wide opening). For machines with zigzag capability, ensure you're using center-position straight stitch only—never zigzag or offset needle positions, as the needle will strike the foot and cause damage.
Tips for Best Results:
- Must be used with straight stitch needle plate (small round hole), not zigzag plate
- Use only with center-position straight stitch—never zigzag or offset needle positions
- Primary presser foot for Singer 301 and 404 straight stitch only machines
- Perfect for preventing puckering on delicate, lightweight fabrics
- Ideal for topstitching, edge stitching, and narrow seams requiring precision
- Excellent for quilting and hand-look quilting stitches
- All-metal hinged construction ensures durability and precision
- Essential for professional-looking straight stitching on any fabric weight
