This is a genuine vintage Singer Right Toe Cording Foot - original Singer Part #160846 (also marked as SIMANCO 160846) in excellent condition, not a reproduction. This specialized low-shank attachment is designed for inserting cording, piping, or welting, and can also function as a zipper foot.

Features and Compatibility

• Original Singer Part #160846 - Authentic SIMANCO quality (marked as Simanco 160846)
• Condition: Vintage, excellent condition
• Design: The foot has only a "right toe" presser, allowing the needle to stitch right along the right edge of the foot. The left side is intentionally cut away or raised to accommodate the bulk of the material you are sewing against
• Low Shank Compatibility: Fits many vintage Singer machines, including:
  • Singer Featherweight 221 and 222
  • Models 15, 27, 28, 66, 99, 201, 306, 319, and 320
• Set Option: This foot is often sold as a set with its counterpart, Part #160845, which is the Left Toe Cording Foot. Having both allows you to work from either side of your project

Function

The specialized design allows you to sew very close to a raised edge, such as cording, the teeth of a zipper, or the finished edge of piping. This foot excels at precision stitching along an edge where a standard presser foot would sit unevenly or be too wide. Perfect for:

• Installing zippers - stitch close to zipper teeth
• Inserting piping or welting - professional edge finishing
• Cording applications - precise placement along raised edges
• Upholstery and home décor projects requiring close edge stitching

How to Use the Cording/Welting/Zipper Foot

For Zippers:

1. Place your zipper face-down on the fabric edge (or wherever your pattern dictates)
2. Attach the right-toe foot (160846) to your machine
3. Position the fabric and zipper under the foot so the zipper teeth run along the cut-away left side, allowing the right toe to hold the fabric down right next to the teeth
4. Stitch close to the zipper teeth

For Piping or Welting:

1. Wrap your cording with a bias strip of fabric to create piping
2. Baste the piping to your project fabric
3. Attach the right-toe foot (160846)
4. Place the project under the foot so the piping fits snugly in the space created by the missing left toe. The right toe keeps consistent pressure on the fabric right next to the cord
5. Sew along the base of the piping using the edge of the foot as a guide

Add authentic Singer SIMANCO quality to your vintage machine. This genuine right toe cording foot delivers the precision and durability you expect from original Singer accessories.
