Identifying Presser Feet
 
5 Attachment(s)
I have been working since I got up between doing loads of laundry and house chores to identify all of my presser feet. I have a lot of them figured out but here are a few I am unsure of. Most of them were easy because they are the most common ones put in sets but I do have some more besides these pictured below that I will keep trying to figure out but will post more pics tonight of the ones I am unable to identify.

The top left foot I have identified but all of the examples on the internet didn't have the built in loops on the top. Is that for a quilting rod type thingy?

I think the top right foot (propped up on another foot) is a braiding foot but again I couldn't find any exactly like it.

Of the three in a cluster at the bottom right only the one in front has a number on it, other than that they are all identical. I couldn't find anything that remotely looked like this foot.

The delicate black piece I have no idea which foot it belongs to or what it does except maybe it is a guide of some sort. Any help would be greatly appreciated

you have one I've not seen before!

But I'll keep my fingers too myself and let others have a go at this.

I identified the top right foot. I just now found it on ebay. YAY!!!! Singer Simanco 161612
Special Purpose Foot

The Special Purpose foot fits in place of the standard presser foot and is designed for zig zag satin stitching, buttonholing and appliqué. This light flexible foot has a raised centre section that allows closely spaced zig zag stitches to feed evenly. The small eyelets at the front of the foot can hold a filler cord for decorative work or corded buttonholes.

The cluster of 3 with the number 31 stamped on the front one look like Greist adapters for their hemmer feet. The adapter goes on the presser bar and the hemmer feet are held on by it.

I'm not 100% certain, the middle top (also 4th picture down) looks a lot like some plastic invisible zipper feet I've seen.

The delicate black piece is a blind hem guide. You put it with a zigzag foot...the part that goes down fits in the center slot of the foot.

Yay, another one figured out. Thank you so much. I will try to put it on one it will probably hold up better as it appears to be a rather delicate piece.

It won't stay on the presser foot unless it's on the machine....the presser foot screw holds them together.
