Low shank vs High shank
Since I did not know if my machine was a "low shank" I thought I would share this:
Measuring the Shank:
Measure the shank with the presser foot lowered. The shank is the distance between the bottom of the foot and the screw. The measurement on a low shank machine is three quarters of an inch and on a high shank machine is one and one quarter inches.
