Mystery feet Do you recognize these?
Diahn   Advanced TN USA Member since 6/27/05 Posts: 131	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/7/12 7:25 PM I recently bought a Bernina Nova sewing machine (kinda like a Bernina FW) that has virtually all original accessories. Along with it came a box of attachments that include non-Bernina feet and these: Does anyone know what these are? ------ http://seamslikeparadise.blogspot.com/

I don't know why that doesn't work!) Those look like different widths of rolled hem footsies to me. -- Edited on 8/7/12 8:13 PM -- -- Edited on 8/7/12 8:14 PM -- -- Edited on 8/7/12 8:15 PM -- ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.

They are similar to a rolled hem (or narrow hem) foot, but the scroll or fold is much larger than the rolled hem foot/feet that come with modern sewing machines.

I've done miles of rolled hems... and really love the super tiny one (2mm maybe?) for super see-through fabrics. It's getting more difficult, it seems, to find them in tiny and large widths these days. So far, as I've been "tricking out" my granddaughter's Lotus with all of the goodies, I've only found one extra size besides the one rolled hemmer foot it came with. They're fun to use... IMO. ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.
