Found these attachments at a little thrift store yesterday. Does that mean I have to find a Singer 338 to match the attachments? ;)

If you must...just make sure it's not that expensive. It's not one of my favorite models.

Caroline,

I got my 338 first, then found the same goodie box. Made the ensemble complete. The 338 is an all metal ZZ machine that must have the ZZ cam in it to do the ZZ stitch. But with over 30 flat cams available you can do alllllllll sorts of decorative stitches.

Oh, and as with all of Singers all metal ZZ machines, it loves Tri-Flow. :)

Ours is in the way, but I refuse to get rid of it. Least wise not yet.

I'm pretty sure the 338 is a low shank machine which means you can use the feet on other low shanks. Other machines take the flat cams but I'm not sure which ones. The throat plate and lifter may also fit the 348, not sure which others.

Well I decided that the only reason I will get a machine to match the attachments is if it is real cheap. I might check that thrift shop to see if the machine is there.

Caroline,

Real cheap????? How about ...... oh wait don't tell anybody, it's our secret ...... $12.00??? Would that be cheap enough? :)

All ours needed was a new number dial on the top tension and a good cleaning and oiling.

I like the 328s. It may be a bit noisy but who cares. They are a tank and sew pretty nice. And no I don't have any right now. Use some T-F and it might quiet down. They can be put on a treadle pretty easily - nice a treadle with decorative stitches!

Those discs, and likely the feet, can be used on the 306, 319, and 328K as well.

You all are such enablers! BUT I don't have a sea foam green machine, rationalizing now, LOL. Thanks Mark for the info.
