Super High Shank System:

Kenmore super high shank presser feet are a specific, rare type used on certain vintage Kenmore 158 series machines. They feature a greater distance between the presser foot attachment point and the needle plate compared to standard low or high shank machines, measuring approximately 1.25 inches (1¼") or more.

Important Compatibility Notes:

• Standard low or high shank feet are NOT compatible with super high shank machines
• Using inappropriate feet can cause the needle to hit the foot

Why This is Your Most Important Foot:

The zigzag/multi-purpose foot is the workhorse of your presser foot collection. Its wide 9mm slot accommodates the full range of zigzag and decorative stitches your Kenmore 158 series machine can produce, making it essential for everyday sewing, creative projects, and utility stitching.
