Thread: Identifying Parts

I need help in identifying the attachments I found while dusting off the treadle sewing machine my mother gave me. There is a total of 7 attachments.

Foot Attachment #2

Foot Attachment #3

Foot Attachment #4

Foot Attachment #5

Foot Attachment #6

Foot Attachment #7

Foot Attachment #1

#1 Ruffler

#5 Rolled hem foot

The rest!? No idea!

#7 looks like a zipper foot
#2 looks like it's for attaching bias binding
#6 looks like it's for straight stitching

#2 Bias tape maker

i found a web site that sells parts for treadles and they show diagrams of all the parts...one of the feet looks like a ruffler, one a hemmer, boy, now i can't remember...but heres the link, you may be able to figure them all out here :)

#3 is used to splice two pieces of fabric together. Im sure it has a name, I just don't know it!

Photo Number 3
Singer Edge Stitcher Attachment 36865 Low Shank

I remember these others but am not real sure. Photo Number 6 may be like my present-day Bernina where there is just one fine hole in the center of foot for precise stitching.

I think Photo Number 5 is the bias tape maker.

It will be interesting to see what others have to say about these old feet.

3 binder I think five is for sewing binding 2edge stitcher,6 shirringor gathering and 4 is a tucker

#1 is a tucker, ruffler or gathering foot, sometimes the names are interchangeable.

#2 is a binding foot. Thought that was a new invention didn't you?

#3 is an edge joiner, for joining lace, ect, to the edge of a garment.

#4, I don't know, but will find out if you want.

#5 is a rolled hem foot.

#6 is a straight stitch foot.

#7 is a zipper or cording foot.

Have fun, happy sewing!

Oh yeah..... you are so correct Pam! That Number 5 is what Mom had me making hankerchief hems with. I plain forgot. This getting older is showing my age on the time. LOL Thanks for letter is know which is what.
