Feet
Quick question: I was given a box of attachments and sifted thru them and picked out all the singer ones. In the mix was quite a few Pfaff feet. They look like low shank....are these interchangable on the singer machines which are low shank? Thanks I advance.

Joe, many vintage Pfaff models can use those feet and they're pretty much interchangeable. It looks like the case matches the one I have for my 362, but they'd work on most of the Pfaff models. The darning foot can be hard to come by. I don't know why they have darning plates though as the feed dogs drop. I guess it's for those that don't want to do that and just snap on a plate??

Yes, you can use these feet on other low shank machines. Sometimes, though, I've discovered that the Pfaffs only like their own feet; it just depends.

You could do a whole lot worse than attract a Pfaff 130. Wonderful machines! Just one thing: as with another Pfaff I have, they hate, hate, hate bobbin work. Don't put any thread or cord that could fray into the bobbin or you'll be sorry. Ask me how I know.

That 5th foot is a Singer Button foot. It belongs to a slant-o-matic though so it won't fit your low shank machines. I'm guessing these are the feet you got from the lady you traded with? She may have mixed a few feet up.
The 2nd 3rd and 6th look like they'd be interchangeable with your low shank machines, but I'd guess you have a drawer full of straight stitch and rolled hem feet already... in fact, if you hadn't said they were Pfaff, I'd have guessed they -were- singer feet. When you put them on, make sure that the needle won't strike the foot in any way, and go for it.
I can't tell what 1 and 4 are and 41212 didn't get me anything in a google search. I could swear I've seen #1 before though.
