What kind of foot should I get for my sewing machine?
I have a Kenmore sewing machine, model number 385-15208400, serial number 43154794. This is a vertical sewing machine, I believe...(when I sew, the fabric is fed this way | |.
In a recent move, the foot to this sewing machine fell off (probably while being packed), and is now missing. I am not sure what kind of foot I need to order as a replacement.
I usually use this sewing machine to sew seams and hems for clothes, and...yea, that's about it. I make lots of medieval garments with it, and if it makes a difference, I commonly use cotton, linen, silk, satin, and brocade.
Anyone?
Chances are that your Kenmore is really a Janome in disguise, fwiw, if it's fairly recent. Most machines can use the right style of generic feet, but you need to know if you've got a snap on, low or high shank machine. See: https://www.nancysnotions.com/NNVia/CustomPages/footlisting.htm
However, most machines do best with their own manufacturer's feet, so if possible, I'd send you to a store with Janome machines or to Sears for Kenmore.
Your machine certainly came with a zigzag foot, generally called an "all purpose foot". To that, I would add a zipper foot (also useful for cording) and an edgestitch foot, as well as a foot that allows your machine to make buttonholes (which may also be an embroidery foot). It's amazing how much more easily some of the specialty feet let you do basic sewing tasks compared to the all-purpose foot.
