When ever I see Singer attachments in 2nd hand shops I always grab them But now I' ll have to keep my eyes open for the Fagoter. Showed this to my brother with instructions to keep his eyes open too. I love new reasons for junk shopping

June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler, the one with 1/2" increments and a 12" square is the one I prefer.

Faggot attachment w/book and all parts; I have one and did not know they were so precious to cost that much!! How can April1930 ask for so much?

Nope, it has 160991 on the bottom

My friend has one, she's the one that mentioned she found one. The penguin foot is extremely rare and very expensive. Never have seen them less than $475
For your FW, just make sure it has the bobbin cover first ! I guess zigzag attachment is good as well as the 1/4" foot
It just depends on each person what they desired and use

Another fairly rare piece is the 161585 thread cutter -- this is the one that looks like a spring.

Most of the stuff on that site is extra pricey.
