the middle picture looks like a machine with many stitch capabilities. The others are straight stitch only unless you add accessories. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

I'm going to say straight stitch only, based on the pictures.

Right, been snooping around some more, and I found these pictures.
I think it's safe to say that they were familiar with Model 15 machines. Also I found a few images of another S4M. They're not great pictures, but maybe it will give you some more information also, in case you want to know what site I'm checking, it's the E-commerce site I mentioned in a previous message. |

There are buttonhole and zig zag attchments and others that can be used on 15s. Probably on yours, They attach to the needlebar.

Bigger, the button holer is close to the size of an electric razor. I have forgotten the size of the ZZ.I don't have pictures handy.
Some of the button holers use different cams to shape the holes. |
How cross compatible are feet attachments usually?
|
That's a question best answered by another.. Lots of possibilities/needs//brands.

It appears there is a Super IV M and then there is a Super M IV. The M IV appears to have been a treadle. I agree that they would be straight stitch machines of the 15 class. (The 15 clones, would have the tension on the face plate and the same body type as the 15 domestic machines.) Both are similar to some of the Morse 600s. It seems that there were a few versions of the Morse 600. All very similar, with just slight differences in the stitch length regulator. There is a threading diagram for the Morse 600 at http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_Diagram.htm Of course, the nose/face plate is a different shape, but the rest of the machine looks right. I'm fairly certain that the Morse machines would have been made in Japan. They will probably have a J-A and/or a J-C with a number. It could be stamped, embossed or cast into the base of the machine.
The class 15 machines would use regular low shank feet and class 15 bobbins. I believe the Selecto would be a Bernina 540-2 Favorit. It would take different feet than the IV M and M IV Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. Not affiliated with off-site link(s) |
