Is that what that is!!! I got one in my box of 301 attachments, and I thought I had scored a walking foot! Boy...good thing I came on here!! LOL

The piece bottom center is an adjustable zipper or cording foot.

Those look a lot like the attachments that go with my c. 1900 Standard Treadle machine. This was a black tin box lined with purple velvet. Attachments include various sizes of hemmers, an underbraider, ruffler, and tucker.

I have a box of Greist attachments for bottom clamp that look just like this, and they fit my 1917 Western Electric e-machine. I haven't tried them yet, because she needs re-wiring...some of her wires are plain BARE!! Scary!! But, yeah, my attachments look just like those. She has a large screw with a rounded head that holds the attachments to the machine. There's not really another "part" that holds them on, just that really large-headed screw.

re: Your zigzag attachment. Did you cover your feed dogs? The way these attachments work is that the presser foot moves the fabric back and forth. If your feed dogs aren't covered, they interfer with the process. The same goes for the buttonholer, blindstitcher, and embroidery feet...

No I just lowered them.

Charlee, thanks for the info about needing to use the cover with the zig-zagger, no wonder it didn't work at all!!

I also have a picot-edger somewhere I gotta dig up and play with.

Here is a piece I looked all over for. I think it is a hemmer but I'm not sure how it works. It looks like it needs a special foot with it. It is not fastened down. It says Stitch Master Blind Stitcher Chicago, USA Pat. Pending. I guess it would fit about anything with matching screw holes
