For 4 years ago I looked for a roller foot, with a large wheel for a low shaft (domestic) sewing machine. I could not find any for sale. I found one after a search today:

https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/leather-quilting-roller-foot-brother-blso-lrf.aspx

Bernina have been making such a foot (no. 55) for their domestic machines for many years, but they are quite expensive. Now an alternative is awailable for other domestic machines.

I did make a modification to a high shank roller foot, in order for it to fit some of my low shaft machines. It looks like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/singer-17-18-18u122-HIGH-SHANK-SEWING-ROLLER-FOOT-FEET-3-SCREWS-SET-OF-3-SIZES-/390364696134

However the problem here is the design of the Wheel. The needle holder of my machines hit the center part the Wheel, so the tire part of the Wheel cannot be placed as much to the right near the needle as I would like it to be. Therefore the tire part of the Wheel needs to extent more to the right in relation to the center plate of the Wheel. For my Wheel the extention measures only 0.9 mm. I have seen video of the Bernina foot, and they designed the wheel right with more extension.

When I look at the Photo from sewingpartsonline, the extension seems higher, but I am not sure.

Did someone try the new low shaft roller foot from sewingpartsonline?
