These were in with parts included with the Singer 15-91 I bought years ago off Craigslist. Forgive me if the picture doesn't show or is too big--I haven't posted here in a long time and not sure I'm doing it right.


Ok, pic didn't work. Can I send someone the pic to post, or does this work?

Two of them are definitely seam guides that screw to the bed of the sewing machine (one has a black screw, one has a metal screw and a light brown plastic part), one is something similar, but looks as though it may hold or turn the fabric edge (the one with clear plastic screw), one is a narrow hemmer foot (but looks as though it needs a shank to attach to) . . . and the others I'm not sure about!

I tried using the post picture icon, and when I previewed also got a broken link...

So it is not you!

But you can post a clickable link:

I sure one of the parts (to the above left of the one with the brown screw) is a bias cutting guide. Your scissor would go into it and you would set the width of your desired bias on the device itself.

There are several sites that have put together photo ID compilations for these vintage attachments... You can decide whether you'll want to put the time into learning how to use them, and if not, put them on eBay. You can put together a much more informative listing than most people manage, once you know what the attachments are.

Thanks, all--you are a wealth of information! Not sure I want to bother using any of these, but it's good to know what they are:)
