Felling Foot (Low Shank 4mm)

A felling foot — Felling Low Shank 4mm. This is a general-fit part; the fit notes below explain how to confirm it suits your machine. This is a compatible replacement part rather than a manufacturer-original part.

What this part does

A felling foot folds and stitches a flat-felled seam — the double-stitched seam on jeans and shirts — in one pass. The size is the finished seam width. The foot holds the fabric flat against the feed dogs while the needle passes through; using the foot designed for the job is the difference between fighting the fabric and letting the machine do the work.

Specifications

How to tell if this is the right one

Feet fit by shank type first: low shank (about 12.7 mm from the bed to the foot's mounting screw), high shank (about 25.4 mm), slant shank (certain Singer models) or snap-on (clips to a foot holder already on the machine). If the listing names machine models, that is the fitment the distributor records. If it names only a shank type, confirm your machine's shank before ordering. This foot is a <strong>low shank</strong> fitting.

Signs you need this part

A bent toe, a worn sole that drags on the fabric, or a snap-on bar that no longer clicks in firmly.

Fitting it

Snap-on: raise the presser bar, press the release lever to drop the old foot, lower the bar onto the new foot's pin until it clicks. Screw-on: loosen the thumbscrew, swap the foot or holder, tighten.

Questions about this part

Which machines does this felling foot fit?

The distributor's listing does not name specific models for this part, so we do not claim a fitment. Compare the specification on this page with the part you are replacing, or send us your machine's model number and we will check.

How do I know my shank type?

Lower the presser foot and measure from the bed of the machine to the center of the screw that holds the foot or foot holder: about 1/2 inch is low shank, about 1 inch is high shank. Slant shank Singers have the presser bar angled towards you. Most modern household machines are low shank with a snap-on holder.

Will a snap-on foot fit my machine?

If your machine has a foot holder with a small lever at the back and feet that clip on and off, yes — snap-on feet are largely standard across brands, with a few exceptions (Bernina, some Pfaff IDT models, Singer slant shank). Where this listing names models, use that list.
