It's an interesting video, which shows a zigzag attachment that fits a FW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgHQW38MWYE

I think they were the "four stars" in Four Star Productions. Performed in many great shows and produced lots more. My personal favorite Four Star show is The Big Valley.

Loved the Singer commercials!

I actually took sewing lessons one summer with my cousin at a Singer center. I made a dress with darts, it was a green tiny check fabric. I remember buying a sewing kit with scissors tape measure marking paper and marking wheel and a seam ripper. I loved that fabric. Don't know if I ever wore that dress lol. Thanks for the video.

Came on this morning to look for J Miller so I can send him a pm. then I watched this --glad I did. I have this attachment and believe I even used it once now I may try it again as I have more machines for it.
Didn't know it has the cam like pieces ---maybe the prelude to cams on machines.

That advertisement took me down memory lane. I took my first sewing class at our local Singer store in 1954. I don't remember what kind of sewing machine I used but it was the first electric machine I ever sewed on. The scariest part was actually making the first cut into the fabric. I still have a scrap of that fabric that I found in my mother's trunk. I do have a couple of the Singer Zig Zag attachments so it was interesting to see them used.
