Thanks for the Demo Charlee! I need to get to the studio and pull out some of mine and post photos and demo them also.
Keep up the good work!! Billy |

If you starch your fabric until it feels like cardstock, you can get these things to make pretty patterns. They're fun to play around with. :) |

The attachments that came with Mamie, the "New Florence" machine... :) We can add "A.G. Mason" to the list of machines that take top clamp attachments....altho a few of these are bed slide attachments....and I'm not sure what some of them are for...like the black ones (steel or iron, but NOT lightweight) that look like seam guides...is that what they are? Or are they a part of the treadle irons? Hmmmmmmmm....
I *think* this is an underbraider... [ATTACH=CONFIG]236005[/ATTACH] |

Your puzzle box has the clip still attached which holds five long bobbins between the prongs. You can see it in the manual I posted earlier in the Style No. 3 booklet. The weird looking round-bottomed foot is the early quilting foot. Singer patented this box in 1889, which is the number stamped on the oval on the box no matter what year they were actually made. I think they were made for a relatively short time, but there were a few different collections of accessories that went into them. |
I picked up a Pfaff 130 at a thrift store earlier this week, and it has two boxes of parts, including the original attachments box. Helpfully, there was also the original parts list in there, so I've been able to ID most of them. Some of them, like the top-attaching parts, I'm certain don't belong to the set.
Two, though, I dunno. I think one is a seam guide, although I've never seen one with two ends. The other one looks like feet I have, but is clearly supposed to fit over the feed dogs ( I think), except it doesn't fit the Pfaff. Anybody got any clues? Crud. Apparently I can't add attachments from my iPad. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/...8976212d7e.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/...e0d7215199.jpg |
The first photo link is for an edge stitcher attachment. I'd have to see the machine to know how it attaches, but I don't think it's intended to cover the feed dogs.
The second photo link is for the seam guide, you were right there! :) |
The first one is a shirring plate - you would use it with some kinds of rufflers or shirring feet.
The second is a cloth guide - it screws into the bed of the machine to give you the seam allowance that you want it to have. :) |
Thanks!
It's the first one I wonder about. It looks like it should fit on the bed (hence the clip things on the edge), but I'm wondering it it doesn't fit into a universal foot gizmo I have. Guess I'll have to wait til I get home to find out! |
I scored a Singer 1949 Blind Hem Stitch attachment this week off of eBay. I got it really cheap...probably because it's not so pretty..a lot of the black paint is gone off of it, but it's otherwise in good shape and moves freely. Did you know you're supposed to lubricate these once in a while? I got the instruction book from ISMACS.
