The one on the left fits a machine you can screw it so the fabric runs along the "hump" adge to sew a straight seam. You can move the piece side to side depending on how wide you want the seam. I guess you could use it for decorative stitching too to keep lines straight. I do not know what kind of machine it is for, but guessing a White, Singer, Kenmore, maybe an old Montogemery Wards machine. These are machines I had experince with in the 50's-60's. Take care.

I think if you turn the first one(largest)over, that is your seam guide and the screw fastens it to your table and you can make it narrower or wider by sliding it. I had one on my old Brother but my new machine does not have that bar. The last one looks like a darning foot.

My old Treadle hand book says the left one is part of the button hole guide the round one is best used for darning the center one does the best hem- my OT has 12 dif sizes plus 28 other gadgets in a wood box that when opened lays flat

The large chucky foot ...this is a seam guide. You have a small hole to the right of your throat plate..you take the large screw and put the plate nex to your foot. You then slide it to your measurement of the seam allowance you will be using.
This was used before the 1/4" foot was made.
I still use mine when I'm making clothes for my GD.
The middle foot is a rolled hem foot.
The other foot is a darning or free motion foot.

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.

#1 is a seam guide
#2 is a rolled foot to make a narrow hem on something
#e is a darning foot
I think they would fit a low shank machine
