The attachments for your 6 qt KA will fit your 7 qt just fine. I also like my old side swipe way better than the scraper KA makes. I use it all the time in my 7qt with no problems.
That's good to know! I'm surprised, though, since the bowl is taller. Do you have to adjust the bowl height when moving between your SideSwipe and the paddle or dough hook that came with the 7 qt.? I originally tried my 6 qt. whisk (the stainless one with lots of tines or whatever they're called) and even though it worked, I found it cumbersome to get it and out of the mixer bowl since the top of the bowl is closer to the head of the mixer.
I gave my 6 qt. and the attachments to my son's fiancee who loves to bake, so that SideSwipe will continue to be well used. But I'll buy myself a new one if it works fine without having to adjust the bowl. So let us know about that please!
