While organizing, I found these parts that are for an older Singer but I do NOT know what they are or how to use them - can you help? Please forgive the fuzziness of the pictures - my battery must be low. Thanks in advance

#1 part - different views coming up

The red plastic doodad is a needle threader for hand sewing needles.

The red is a needle threader as said for hand sewing.. you place the eye of the needle in the hole on top and place the thread in the groove and press down on a lever to insert the thread in the eye.. the blade is to cut the thread.

The other part is a tuckmaker - they are SLICK! Especially if you like putting tiny details into your clothing - really sweet on baby clothes, too. :)
