Maybe I got unlucky; Alphasew's construction on other things has always been sorta hit-or-miss.
Since then I've gotten to compare with the old Singer plastic Even-Feed feet. Despite also being made of plastic, the older Singer was way smoother. And it actually lined up exactly.
[And this was an even feed foot that looked like it had been chewed on by a cat. Seriously, covered in teeth puncture marks. It showed up in a box of other parts]
As for the Alphasew foot sort of missing front or back, it's obvious now why there's the extra travel out front-- for backtacking--- by why is it shifted so far off the dogs? It might work but wouldn't having extra travel and being centered properly have worked even better? Oh Alphasew, you crazy crazy guys.
