hi Candace..bottom right is the 'stitch in the ditch' foot..bottom left looks like a darner. top foot looks like a felling foot.
Not sure what the bottom upper right one is..hope this helps..Liz

Too cute! Was that a shop window? The Vesta looks so small. :)

Every week I see that one in Dallas pop up with a decrease in price, I get a case of the "I wants." Too bad my budget never fits! There's a hand crank Pfaff that keeps showing up too.

yep that's what it does..like doing a covered seam and a top stitch allows needle to get up real close to catch the seam within a seam..http://www.sewneau.com/how.to/flat.felled.seam.html..Hope this helps..lots more info on Google..

My opinion about the Goodwill site...

Hi Candace, just came across this article regarding Goodwill. [URL]http://www.antiquetrader.com/featured/can-you-expect-good-things-buying-antiques-on-goodwill-com[/URL] I also like to 'look' at their site. Article also mentioned the issue w/ shipping. I'm not knocking Goodwill as I always try to stop by the local ones. Just a helpful FYI to all...Liz

Looks like she may be riding the bus to work since she won't have the cash to have her car repaired!
She's dreaming!

I'm wishing Taylorville near Louisville was closer - there is a FW for about $200 with odor issues... it's on CL
