Sewing machine help - can you get replacement screws for feet?

[LIZS]

Zipper foot comes in 2 parts, joined by a tiny screw-hole. Screw has gone awol. Have found a small one which fits but it isn't held together tight and can still slide horizontally. Is that correct or can I buy a replacement screw easily?

Could you post a photo of the foot attached to the machine?

[LIZS]

This the foot assembled . Should there be any left/right movement when screw is tightened?

[UsefulEustace]

Have you tried putting the screw in from the front? You should be able to see the screwdriver groove.

It went in from the back but can give it a go from front. The proper screw is more stumpy with a coloured head.

[LIZS]

Will only screw in from back.

You may need a replacement screw then. It looks like a Singer presser foot so you should not have too much trouble in getting one, either online or from a sewing machine outlet/repair shop. Take the foot with you so they can fit it properly.

It's a New Home one. Are the screws universal?

[UsefulEustace]

Not always, but yours is not an unusual type so I'm pretty sure you can get a replacement.

I'd try calling this place tomorrow www.coulingsewingmachines.co.uk/content/4-about-us they do sewing machine repairs and might have what you want in stock to post out.

Thank you. I managed to buy an invisible zip foot yesterday so hopefully will be able to finish this project while I source a new screw.

I'd look at nuts instead of screws
