It also has 2 snap on feet, which is strand, as there's no ankle. Hmmm. Oh, and the plastic bobbin is smaller on one side than the other.
Trying for a picture.
neat. Yes, those would be for Touch & Sew machines. The 21906 & 163455 are for the chain stitch, but there is still a throat plate that would be needed to make a chain stitch. The plate has an oval front to back needle plate. See
Help Identifying Plate
Bobbin is for T&S machines.
I haven't seen the basting cam before. The manuals that I've seen for basting stitches is basically a blind hem stitch that is set with some dials so only the zag (or is it the zig?) that actually catches the bobbin thread.
I've seen some slant shank snap on feet, but can't remember which machines. Often snap on feet or even the changeable Greist attachments are often missing the main ankle or adapter as that was what was on the machine when the attachments got separated from the machine.
Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
