Here is a great store for ordering sewing supplies and machine parts/feet.....
When the darning foot on my Singer Quantum 9960 started making alot of noise I sent it to where I bought it for repair. The needle was ever so slightly sliding against the inside front of the hole/circle of the foot and making a loud clanking sound. Drove me nuts and I always worried if the needle hits the metal rim of the circle..it could do alot of damage! So I called them, told them about it and they said it was electrical..the needle arm was off. I sent it, 2 days later they sent it back and it still did it. I called, they said send it back, I did, they called and said they don't hear it! I was speechless.....it clanks so loud a deaf person could hear it! They swore they couldn't. So the guy says "This foot is the worst foot out there, Singer is bad about this. You need another foot" he said to try the one called "Big Foot" darning/embroidery foot. Okay, obvious they aren't going to bother doing anything to it. he showed me on his site/store and the foot was what I wanted...a larger hole for the needle to go through, but it was $16.99 plus tax plus shipping! I researched the foot and found it here....
Sewing Supplies Wholesale & Retail - Free Nationwide Shipping
THere it was, looked like the perfect solution...larger hole and the whole foot looked better constructed... and it was only $6.99! I'll take it! Then I went to place the order and it was FREE SHIPPING in the USA! FREE!!!!! I ordered it and with tax it was $7.62 and I got it 2 days later! Granted they only about 2 hours west of me in LA, but still...fast shipping.
So if you are looking for a sewing supply, and they have lots of stuff...check them out. Free Shipping is often as much as the item! So that there is a huge help financially.
The foot works GREAT!! even without the sound, the foot seems to do better than the one that came with the machine. It is low shank, snap on.
