You need a walking foot! It makes a huge difference when sewing through bulky layers like that.
You’ll be good to go with either- I’ve done clothes, hundreds of bags, alterations and quilts on mine.
The three things I’d suggest after purchase?
a walking foot
bobbins-a-plenty (although they are machine specific)
and a set of feet- you’ll never need them all, but it’s nice to have one when you need it!
This is weird...I’m no expert but that doesn’t seem like a good design. Mine has a fork that goes around that bar so it can pull down as well as push up. This is the singer one I have.....
I’d see if you can return it somehow
Okay, so basic shank measurements:
With the presser foot in the down position, measure from the bed of the machine to the center of the thumb screw
Low Shank – measures ½”
High Shank – measures 1”

Based on reviews, this one seems okay. I am a bit wary of price though because the ones we sell in store are generally around $40 for the generic ones. Do you, by any chance, live in the Pacific Northwest?
