Here are the needles and the oddball feet.

I handwrote the info on the needles and taped it together. The top of the card was cutoff.

Probably for some itty-bitty little scissors. Maybe like for the 2 1/2" scissors as seen at https://adirondackgirlatheart.com/wp...1-800x1200.jpg from the page https://adirondackgirlatheart.com/co...tage-scissors/

Do you need the instructions for the invisible zipper foot? I'm fairly certain I have both the Unique and Talon ones.

I thinnk you're right. Alas, no scissors were in the case. I'll still find a use for it though.

Here's the thread. The Mettzlers are in the spool caddy, which has 46 compartments - 4 spools per compartment except for the 3 larger spools which take up a compartment themselves. The rest of it is in the tote still. Awaiting more spool caddies to arrive. And then the chore of more sorting. lol

That would be great! Otherwise I'd have no idea how to use them.

Do they work well?

Ebay item # 183964160108 Says it is for hand sewing. Looks like this is an older version of N.B.T. Waxed Silamide Skeins. 675 yds per skein. Tex 23. A soft thread made with wax and a little silicone used to replace silk thread for hand sewing. Fun to do sleuthing like this.

It was a double sided single sheet that folded up. I think I only used it a couple of times, many years ago. i really wouldn't want to use a regular zipper foot for an invisible zipper. Something that should be noted is that you install the zipper before seaming below the zipper. I also forgot that one side of the instructions is for polyester teeth and the other for metal teeth, although they look the same.

There is also a Coats & Clark invisible zipper foot.

Going by the pdf that can be found at https://www.amefird.com/wp-content/u...art-2-4-10.pdf It looks like it Tex 23 is a really fine thread, so probably what the itsy-bitsy needles are for
