Measure your presser foot from the screw down to the bottom of the presser foot and it will help you determine which shank size.
High Shank: 1-1/4" between top of screw to bottom of presser foot.
Low Shank: 3/4" between top of screw to bottom of presser foot
Super Low Shank: 1/2" (and under) between top of screw to bottom of presser foot. Please note the super low shank ruler foot will fit most low shank machines. It also has an open top on the shank of the foot making it easier to adjust height-wise.
A ruler foot is intended to work with an acrylic ruler on a home sewing machine to mimic a long arm quilting process. The ruler foot attaches to the shank of your machine. Our ruler feet will work with our templates and many other templates you may buy. Scroll down to find your machine and determine which is the right foot, if you don't see your machine listed, you can use the measuring instructions below or email us at support@sewingbysarah.comto help you determine the best fit.
The ruler foot comes in three varieties, the most common are the super low shank and low shank feet.
Our Super Low Shank ruler foot will fit machines with a shank between 0.35" and 0.7".(1cm to 1.7cm)
Our Low Shank ruler footwill fit machines with a shank between 0.5" and 0.8" (1.2cm to 2.1cm)
Our High Shank ruler foot will fit machines with a shank between .65" and 1.2" (or 1.5cm to 2.9cm)
Here's a measuring guide example. You are measuring with the presser foot down from the base plate in your machine to the screw on your machine's shank. Please see the video below for more detailed instructions.
There is some overlap between the feet sizing so there is some flex. If it doesn't fit please let us know and we will swap out something that will work for you.
Here is a little video demonstrating measuring for the shank height:

While the Super Low Shank fits machine shanks that measure 1/2" (and under) between top of screw to bottom of presser foot, please note the super low shank ruler foot will fit most low shank machines. It also has an open top on the shank of the foot making it easier to adjust height-wise.
For presser feet, if the presser foot is snap-on, these machines require a special snap on adaptor for our snap on feet.

Compatibility for Husqvarna Viking Sewing Machines
The machines below are all low shank, but super low shank for ruler feet.
For ruler feet, please buy the appropriate foot below.
Super Low Shank Ruler FootorLow Shank Ruler Foot
While the Super Low Shank fits machine shanks that measure 1/2" (and under) between top of screw to bottom of presser foot, please note the super low shank ruler foot will fit most low shank machines. It also has an open top on the shank of the foot making it easier to adjust height-wise.
For presser feet, if the presser foot is snap-on, check your machine to see if you have a snap on already (most modern versions come with this) if not, you can determine the shank type below and then buy the appropriate snap on adaptor:
Please note, all of these models are low shank, if you do not see your model, please contact us and we can help you find your model.
