the middle one is also called a narrow hemmer....and I love that foot! The funny thing is that the one that came with my 55 year old Singer, fits my Viking and I like it better than the one Viking sells.......for an exorbitant price, I might add. Several of the feet I have are interchangeable with the 2 machines....figure it. I guess because both are low shank and there have not been many changes in the construction or design.

Ok without reading 4 pgs of posts, here they are left to right. Seam guide and screw, the guide is attached to the bed of the machine via screw into hole the long slotis for making adjustment in the position of the rolled bar(open side down plese) so that you can guide your fabric along the edge at the distance from the needle you desire. the next in line is a foot hemmer, bu inserting a small folded edge into curled slot it will automatically fashion a small hem on the edge put through the slot. The one on the far right is the freemotion/darning foot, usually used with feed dogs down or a feed dog cover plate depending on the machine, hope this helps. If you want pix of how foot hemmer works pm me please.:)

I have a few feet that I have collected - a couple of old machines went kaput!! and had snap-on feet - so I took the feet and the shank connector off and use them on my newer machines as well. As somebody else said - some of those old feet work as well or better than the new stuff you pay crazy prices for now - just be careful when you are trying them on a newer machine that the needle clears in the foot, etc.
