Pfaff Feet

For tight places in a flat fell type walking foot (1245/545 etc.), what are you using on a Pfaff? 

Mine are wider, something one would use for binding applications (not the best for tight turns and places).  If you have something around 3/8ths wide (both feet combined), mind posting the part numbers  (indicate if numbers are Pfaff or whatever)?

Thanks,

Are you talking about welt feet? You can get them with a toe on the left side only:

And for non-welted sewing, they have zipper feet with the toe on the left, or right side of the needle.

I'm not opposed to buying cheap feet from E-bay stores, and grinding them to suit special needs.

Small flat feet in a standard walking wood style.
Isn't that technically referred to as flat fell?

Anyway I do several hundred custom covers a year for a customer and a narrow standard flat fell would speed my sewing time.  Even a little bit times the number I do is significant.

I might only need the pressure component, my needle foot is probably narrow as I might find.  The pressure foot I use is for sewing binding on carpets (i. e. auto carpert and vinyl binding).

Don't know, I am looking for a listing of feet for the Pfaff walking family.
Maybe I can do that after work today?  Don't know, got an order for more of these products and anything to improve efficiency will help.  I am also looking for  digital pattern equipment, drawing/cutter, which would also speed up and improve the operation. 
Thanks,

Doyle
