Genuine Vintage Kenmore Super High Shank Concealed Zipper Foot
Authentic Original Part - This is a genuine vintage Kenmore super high shank (SHS) concealed zipper foot in excellent condition. While aftermarket versions of this foot and the zigzag foot are available (the only two super high shank feet still manufactured), this is an authentic original Kenmore part offering superior quality and fit.
Condition:
- Genuine vintage Kenmore part - not an aftermarket reproduction
- Excellent condition - fully functional
- Original Kenmore quality and precision

Super High Shank System:
Kenmore super high shank presser feet are a specific, rare type used on certain vintage Kenmore 158 series machines. They feature a greater distance between the presser foot attachment point and the needle plate compared to standard low or high shank machines, measuring approximately 1.25 inches (1¼") or more.
Important Compatibility Notes:
- Center needle position only - This foot is designed for center-homing machines
- Standard low or high shank feet are NOT compatible with super high shank machines
- Using inappropriate feet can cause the needle to hit the foot
- The needle opening slot must align correctly with center needle position
- Only 2 super high shank feet are still manufactured as aftermarket: concealed zipper and zigzag
What is a Concealed Zipper Foot?
A concealed zipper foot (also known as an invisible zipper foot) is a specialized attachment used to install invisible zippers that are completely hidden within a seam. When closed, only the small zipper pull is visible at the top.
Key Features:
- Grooved underside: Two deep guiding grooves gently unroll zipper coils during sewing
- Precise stitching: Enables needle to stitch right at the base of coils for seamless integration
- Professional finish: Creates clean, invisible zipper installations ideal for formal wear and tailored clothing
- Consistent alignment: Keeps zipper aligned and guides fabric smoothly
- Versatile: Can also be used for couching thick yarn or cording onto fabric
Perfect For:
- Installing invisible zippers in garments and home decor
- Formal wear and tailored clothing projects
- Cushion covers and pillow projects
- Achieving professional, high-quality finishes
- Decorative couching applications
