#7 looks like a zipper foot
#2 looks like it's for attaching bias binding
#6 looks like it's for straight stitching

Photo Number 3
Singer Edge Stitcher Attachment 36865 Low Shank

I remember these others but am not real sure. Photo Number 6 may be like my present-day Bernina where there is just one fine hole in the center of foot for precise stitching.

I think Photo Number 5 is the bias tape maker.

It will be interesting to see what others have to say about these old feet.

#1 is a tucker, ruffler or gathering foot, sometimes the names are interchangeable.

#2 is a binding foot. Thought that was a new invention didn't you?

#3 is an edge joiner, for joining lace, ect, to the edge of a garment.

#4, I don't know, but will find out if you want.

#5 is a rolled hem foot.

#6 is a straight stitch foot.

#7 is a zipper or cording foot.

Have fun, happy sewing!
