The shank on a sewing machine is the distance between the bottom of the preser foot and the screw that holds the presser foot in place. This applies to older sewing machines (usually pre-1980), as newer machines have a presser foot that snaps on, as opposed to screws on.

--A high shank machine measures approximately 1 1/4" from the presser foot screw to the bottom of the foot, and uses High Shank presser feet

--A low shank machine measures approximately 3/4" from the presser foot screw to the bottom of the foot, and uses Low Shank presser feet
