    Ahh! You are correct sir! Thanks! I have checked all of my seam gauges, none are missing, so I will pitch this one, so I don't revisit it in 3 months and wonder what it is again.

    Might want to hang onto it. It's hard to find gauges that don't have breakable plastic slides anymore.

    I was thinking that too. The one that I have that has a plastic guide is narrower than the insert. It can go in, but I'm more likely to slice a finger than have it slide, it's that tight.

    I suppose I could modify it.

    The top one is a replacement needle for a punch rug maker. I've got a lot of those with other sewing stuff.

    I had to look up what a punch rug was. I knew it was a needle of some sort, but couldn't fathom what it was for. Thanks for that info Cathy!

    I don't know what the first one on the left is, but I believe the middle tool is used to grab onto narrow fabric when turning them right side out. The last I believe is used to tie elastic to, then push it through casings for elastic. Hope this helps, or maybe I'm all wrong.

    Ok, I have more odd pieces here. Any idea what these are? One has a magnet on the bottom and looks like a foot. The Kenmore one has a tiny little hook. Also, what machine do these cams go to? I must have gotton 20 of them. They are so tiny!

    Christy, The middle picture is a Kenmore needle threader...they came with all new Kenmores in the attachment/feet box. And since they're so little, I'm betting the cams go to a zigzag/decorative stitch attachment.

    What Path49 said! I have a couple of those Kenmore needle threaders. I really like the design of them. They beat the heck out of the little flimsy wire things.
