The gal that had this machine before me added a card showing the seam distances from the foot. Her 1/4" was way off but I measured the side of the foot and it came up at a slant 1/4" so that works for me perfectly. As to the foot I wasn't sure what it was, I think it's a adjustable hemmer which I'm sure I'll never use. I doubt I'll use any of the extra feet but it's nice to have them just the same.
Thank you all for your advice and suggestions. I was able to pick up a bottle of machine oil last week so I'm all set.
