I didn't find any small screws, so it must be missing. I figured I was missing some parts, some of those pieces just don't make any sense.

Here's a couple more closer pics

Here is the coil tucker - not sure if you have all three peices (I forgot there were three of them).
Edit- yes you do, the smaller guide is still attached to your center part.





This is the Set that came with my Singer 28K hand crank. It's a bit older than yours.



This is all the parts to the other tucker (it's a newer style than the first) This one is back clamp, but the parts are the same



I can't find a picture of an adjustable hemmer taken apart - but I can get one if you want it!

BTW - you also have a rare and rather expensive mock hemstitcher attachment -

Wow, thank you for all the info! It looks like I am missing that bottom piece to the coil tucker. And a bunch of parts for the other one, lol.

Mock hemstitcher...haha, I had no idea what that was, so I googled it, and ended up right back here on QB on one of YOUR posts from October! That's a pretty neat piece, I'm lucky it was in there!

An interesting tid-bit.

Notice how the coil spring it tight wound on my disassembled picture?

Yours and the one belonging to my Singer 28 set have gap in that coil. That is very important - that gap changes the distance between tucker and presser lever (which hooks on the needle). I've got ones with several different coils wraps, and they all fit different machines of that vintage.

your "bottom piece" is already mounted to the middle piece where it belongs. You have a complete coil tucker.

You also have the foot and screw for the hemmer set, and often that is the harder part to find.

Oh! You're right, I see that now. Nice! I'll have to look for pictures of it in action (you've probably already posted some here, somewhere!)

So that coil part is pretty specific to the machine - that is interesting, I would have assumed it was more "generic" than that.

I am so jealous I can't even describe it. Have fun with your new machine!

I was excited ever since you first posted the story about your awesome aunt gifting this to you. I do not know what I expected but this is better than what I expected. Does that make sense? Probably not. And thank you also Macybaby for explaining what the attachments were!

I didn't know what to expect either, I was afraid it was going to be one of those modern repro machines so I really tried not to get too excited. So this has been a series of really pleasant and exciting surprises.

I can't say enough nice things about my aunt - I'm lucky to have her in my family! (And I knew that before she gave me this machine, lol)
