Does anyone know what these feet are for?
They came with the Featherweight I got last year.

the bottom one is for doing ribbon hems .... MUV has a lovely youtube tutorial on how to use it

Sorry it is an "Edge Foot" here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ball...--SKM&index=15

The middle one looks like a cording foot. Have no idea what the top one is. You can google 'featherweight feet' and see what you can find out.

I think the middle one is a shirring foot.

The top one doesn't look like a foot to me, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it flat? What does the other side look like?

Macybaby will probably know what it is in less than a second. LOL

Top = under braider,

Center = gathering foot,

Bottom = edge stitcher foot.


These feet and attachments are not unique to the FW's, they'll work with many different machines.

I have a box of feet that came with my treadle. Maybe I should take a look.

Thanks for the link. I wasn't sure what the edge foot was for either. Didn't realize all the things you can do with it. I also learned a whole lot more about some of the attachments that came with my old machine from the other videos on the page. Spent a long while watching all of them but it was worth it. Maybe now I'll use some of those attachments.

Well, I've been sewing all my life, but mostly with casual garments. I've made a lot of curtains/drapes, but I've never used an underbraider and did not recognize it when I read this thread. The gathering foot-I knew what it was, but likewise, I've never used it. I also recognized the edge stitching attachment, but have never used one, so it seems that I'm really uneducated with a lot of these attachments! Do you suppose 70 is too old to learn? Nah!
