How To Hook Up Brother Free Motion Darning Foot (plastic)
I want to get a walking foot to use with my Viking 5710. I called Viking/Husqvarna and they have no information on what could be used with this older. Brother ls 2125 parts manual: google for Mobile on 1s.muunic.site.
For $5 let's try the Dremmel toolThanks for posting this site. I love my HV 5710. Got it cheap on GW Auction on line. The machine was stuck from dried oil. Did a YouTube on how to fix it. User: capedoryus. Ordered a walking foot from Amazon for $5 and it does not fit due to the unusual slant of the foot bar. Soooooo close. Today is file down the plastic day to make it fit. Wish me luck. I would love to replace the teeny tiny screw used but that's for another day. I'll post my discovery.
BREAKING NEWS (not again please) I used small hand files and worked the plastic mount down till the walking foot fits pretty good. I found diamond hand files cut the best. They are small files and are perfect to fit into the plastic mount.
Because the screw is so small you have to reduce the thickness of the mount. Remove plastic housing by prying off. Then take a few photos of how it looks assembled as next you are going to remove the screws on the side with the needle bar lever.
Take more photos.
Start taking things apart. I did not undo the spring but was able to get the file into the mount by moving the foot but keeping the spring attached. Keep on filing and more filing.
You will have to work it as you go since it's about impossible to get it square. If it sits off to one side it needs more plastic removed. It's a PIA but now I have a walking foot for my 5710. I don't think you can buy one at any price as the support for the foot on the 3610 and 5710 are on an angle.
Hope this helps somebody.
From the Editor: You are one determined guy, John. My hat's off to you.
Fabulous reminder about taking pictures as you go when you're taking things apart. Good advice for so many situations.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Piecefully,
