hi Candace..bottom right is the 'stitch in the ditch' foot..bottom left looks like a darner. top foot looks like a felling foot.

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..

[QUOTE=Candace;4754903
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!
