Your machine is really pretty - don't do what I did but I thought you might need a good laugh

That looks like a standard short shank machine which means any short shank feet from another machine will fit - not zigzag ones, of course.
Edit: I didn't realize this was an older thread. If the thread isn't picking up, make sure the needle is in correctly. The thread goes through from the opposite side of the flat side of the needle. Not likely to thread from the right (Singer 301s do), but could easily be from the front to back.

One neat thing I noticed is that the rod, for a better word, holding the spool on top of the machine, tips up and down.
I do not know if this machine even runs, because I just brought it in and it is really cold. I may just take it to my machine repair man, and let him check it over. I sure hope that he can get it running. I only have one foot for it, but it appears to be about a 1/8 inch foot, so if it runs, it would be great when I need to do a SCANT 1/4 inch seam.
