Can anyone tell me what each of the feet are used for? I have a manual, but it doesn't show any of these feet. So maybe the manual is not the right one. Which of these feet does the bar attachment go to. I know what is for, because a lot of newer machines have this guide for sewing rows evenly.
Thanks to all who are helping me.
Interesting the manual doesn't show any of the feet. You might want to join at
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com as there are some Standard manuals at
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/?f...6056&trail=100 however, they are for the treadle machines.
When I searched for a manual, I didn't see any with the electric machine.
Are you sure you need a "belt" as many machines from that time period used a direct drive pulley rather than a belt?
A picture of the motor and back of hand wheel might help.
Nice picture of the attachments - hopefully you can understand the table I did. I'm not sure about #14 as when I zoomed in on it, it looks a different. Maybe it has a number on it, or you could get a picture of just that one.

The Singer feet look to be for low shank machines and would probably fit many low shank machine. The straight stitch foot is for narrow feed dogs, and would probably work best with the older Singer machines and definitely would not want to zig zag with that foot on the machine.
Hope this helps.
