This is the third edition of “Domestic Sewing Machine Presser-Feet”.
Although there are many explanations of how to use presser-feet and attachments, I have found no information about how they work. This article is a detailed explanation of the walking, tuck-marker, zig-zag, buttonhole and ruffler attachments.
In addition, there is an examination of early (up to about 1915) Singer style sets, which are often in "puzzle" boxes.
I had to split the file into three parts to upload it.

What wealth of knowledge you have shared! I'm teaching sewing to a 16 year old who received a treadle for her birthday. She is fascinated with the box of feet and accessories and you have provided a great teaching tool with these documents. The "then vs now" pricing provides quite an historical reference. Thank you.
