It's an adjustable seam guide. A screw goes thru y-shaped slot & into one of the holes to the right of your needle. You can loosen the screw & turn it to the area that you need ( curved or straight)...& slide back/ forth for the size seam allowance you want.

that is a neat looking one. I've got quite an assortment of seam guides, but have not seen one like that.

If it’s got Simanco part number 25873 on it, it’s listed as a “Combination Guide” in the attachments for the Singer 31-15. It was probably an accessory sent out with other machines as well. It’s mounted on the bed of the machine with a thumbscrew and is for use with maintaining a constant seam allowance, even on curved stitch lines.

Here’s a photo of one mounted on “JR”, my Singer 31-15 Treadle. I was making pint-sized billfolds before Christmas. I have it pushed back away from the needle and snugged down out of use in the photo.

Hmm... I've not seen one of those before. I'll have to keep my eyes open for one. Will it fit other machines?... like my 15-91 or a 201??

I wish the my machines had a place to put a guage. I have a Husqvarna 1+ and a Singer DSXll, neither of which has a screw hole on it. Used to use it all athe time on my old machine.
