WW to Singer Side Clamp adapter??

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

A little bird in Washington state, told me that someone¡¯s husband in this group is making and selling adapters that let you use Singer side-clamping feet on Wheeler & Wilson machines. I have both a W&W D-9 and an industrial 12W102 that I¡¯d like to be able to do free-motion quilting on, but W&W never made a darning foot for their machines.

?

There is also an adapter that was patented in the 1950¡¯s that does the same.? Would like to find one of those, if no one is making adapters now.

?

Thanks!

yes. I too remember, more than five years ago, about this little bird,perhaps in treadle-on.He is surely here. I searched him in my mail, a chaotic one, but I can't yet find.? do you search an adapter? I would love to have one? ?ciao cristiana
 

Note that the W&W/Singer adapters will not work on attachments that drive from the needle clamp as do most?darning feet, rufflers?
&, etc. The needle clamp is on the left side of the W&W's needlebar while it is on the right side on a Singer.

interesting but I don't understand very well. it is possible to build some?working?
 

I have a Singer 9W which once belonged to Ray Sew Slow Waganka. Ray lived near Albany, NY. After he died, I brought several of his machines to Iowa.

??????????????????

The adapter is proprietary to this Singer 9W and will not fit on the needlebar of any of my W&W9s, D9s or Singer 9Ws. Anyone who has treadled this Singer 9W, sees the low shank presser foot and treadles so the hand wheel turns counter clockwise like a Singer.

?

It¡¯s a lovely machine and treadles like silk in one of my Singer tailor style treadles.

Did anyone find the adaptor?
 

No, I haven't found one yet. Still hoping to find one.
 

If someone has a picture or drawing, I might get it fabricated
 

If it helps I have been told that the presser feet for the Wheeler and Wilson are same as the Singer 107 zig zag series machine which has heritage back to the Wheeler and Wilson machines.

Best regards,
Mike

Hello, I am new. From Miami Florida.
Any luck finding the foot adapter for the W9? I too would love to get my hands on one.
The adapter is described in detail in this video ¡°Adapting a Wheeler & Wilson W9 for free motion Quilting¡± by Tim Latimer. It allows one to use the snap on type feet.?

Anyone out there know of where one can be located or another work around for this issue? Or do any of you have a 3D printer to make one?

No Cheri, I haven't found one yet. Nor do I know of a work around option.
My guess is one probably could be made with a 3D printer. I'd give it a try if I have one in hand to measure and draft up for a printer. Some public libraries have printers you can use and possibly schools.
Please let me know if you find a solution!
Becky
