mostly I use the Underbraider and Shirr plate as a reference, as they are noticabley different.

White and National both have a wider notch, as does Standard. Free and New Home have a narrow notch. Standars has a much higher lift, and early National had a very low lift.

The location of the needle hole is also different - so in no case can you fit the foot from one successfully on another.

And with the Free/New Home changes, feet that fit newer machines (after they combined) don't fit the older machines from when they were different. But here again, you can usually tell by the shirr plate and underbraider.

I still have one set I'm not sure what it fits. Now I can't find it LOL!! So I can't figure out if it fits the New Home.
