very cool by the way! Matching the hand crank. Such a nice tribute to her.

With most of these, if you get the right top clamp assembly that will fit on the machine, you can then use the regular top clamp feet with it. I can swap this out on my White and New Home machines that didn't come with it, and both styles of feet work on both machines.
I even have a few sets that come with their own top mount style clamp so you can put it on the machine and use the other style feet.

I was going through my paperwork - and I don't have the National specs on the presser bar written down- guess I didn't get that far before running out of time for the day. I also don't have pictures of my slip on feet yet. I'll see about working on that this weekend. We don't have any Holiday plans, will just make a nice meal for the two of us and then play with sewing machines and quilting the rest of the time.

Macybaby (aka Attachment Guru) So here are pics from New National, or New home type 4? 14? something, attachments that I scored, but what am I missing to be able to put them on the machine
[ATTACH=CONFIG]472318[/ATTACH] the attachments have a teeny tiny hole (plus or minus a bit) way to small for the adapter on a later New Home [ATTACH=CONFIG]472320[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472321[/ATTACH]
What adapter fits these?? hmmmm.... thanks for the upteenth time, "I know what I know, but I don't know a heck of a lot"
