Was the first machine an Elna with the cams? Wonderful machine, looks just like the items I had from Mom.

In doing so came across this little accessory box, probably from that very first machine. Can anyone tell me if these feet are still any good and what in the world should i do with them? I now own a Janome MC9500 so there is no way i can use them.

You are exactly right on that! Those look like signer attachments. I have them all for one of my older machines...NOT a feather weight, a machine dated from 1994 ish.

Left one is a seam guide...you screw it down to the bed of the machine.
Middle one is a rolled hem foot. you work the edge of the fabric into the slot in the foot, and it rolls the fabric while you hem it.
One on the right is a darning/quilting foot. The long part goes over the screw that holds the needle...as the needle goes up and down, so does the foot.
