Glad you are getting some useful information and getting the machine cleaned and lubricated. I understand about hopeful jackpot. It looks like the throat plate and one would think, that indeed, the feet that were with it should go with it. bkay is correct that your machine takes slant shank feet. I know all too well that many times that attachments get all mixed up. I got a White top clamp machine and it came with feet for it, some Japanese high shank feet, a Simanco low shank foot and some Singer back clamp attachments. It looks like the narrow hemmer and straight stitch foot should work for your machine. The others are at an angle that makes it difficult to determine. I think the zipper foot might be a slant shank. There is a list of a lot of the Singer part numbers at https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/simanco_accessories. Another source that would probably be helpful would be https://web.archive.org/web/20190727.../IPpartCharts/ probably
404-1_4_5 another would be https://web.archive.org/web/20190823...tCharts/4_4999 any of the first three. I don't remember for sure, but many times the rufflers do not have numbers on them, even though they are listed by part numbers in the parts lists.

I also found another 411 manual at https://danhopgood.files.wordpress.c...anual-med3.pdf

For hemming jeans, you are better off using just a regular foot as the denim is too thick to go through the hemmers. Another thing about hemming jeans when you come to a seam, you may have problems. Sometimes it helps to put something under the back of the foot to make it even with the height of what you going over. I have sometimes turn the hand wheel to go over and sometimes that doesn't work either. It also has been suggested to hammer the seams to make them thinner.
