My Domestic VS used a spider and special stitch plate. Bernie's Singer 412 used a special threading pattern, a special thread guide and a special throat plate.
I wonder how many other machines can convert between lock stitch and chain stitch? i know that the Singer Touch and sews can also convert.
I'm glad that you have a good time at the TOGA.
OMG! I had a Touch and Sew (throw) for just a very short period. I don't recall it having an attachment for converting it to chain, but I do recall the instruction manual stating it could make a chain stitch. I was not in love with that machine. If an attachment was not required for making a chain stitch, I now wish I taken the time to see if it would produce a chain stitch. Doubt it though since it was a true Touch and Throw.
