I wish I had this tool when making Raggedy Ann and Andy hair. It is the perfect tool for that. Had to improvise with cardboard, but this would have been great to use.

Oh my, I looked at the site NVB50 posted and I will have to look in my sewing machine parts drawer and see if I am lucky enough to have one. I want to play with it.

Yep I have one I bought in an antique shop years ago. At the time I didn't have any vintage machines but bought it because it said Singer on it. I have never used it...but thought about it several times. I paid a whole dollar for it!! LOL Seems there were quite a few items like this that was made for the machines. Now to find more of them!! I do love looking for them.

I have several, picked up at garage sales and antique shops I suppose. Yes, it is for making rugs. I have never tried it, but it would be a good way to use thin scraps. Pets would love a bed made this way.

I have one of those too but have never used it. It was in the drawer of one of my vintage machines.

I can remember back a few years when I was still collecting machines and vintage attachments these were going for a good chunk of change at least for me. :) I like the metal coat hanger idea. Not that I will ever get around to doing one though.

Neat, I bet I could make something similar and make some of the items mentioned in the article. There were fringes and pom-poms on a lot of things when it came out, like chenille bedspreads, and lampshades...

I had completely forgotten this item until I saw your photo. The last time I used one was 60 years ago in Home Ec. I think I made something like chenille with it.
