I've complied the following list from FWF Digests, Terry's attachments lists, manuals and anything else I could find. The numbers starting with 2 and 3 seem to be for the earlier machines. The numbers starting with 12 can be associated with FWs. The 16 series associated with 301s and the 48 series are the Jetson (egg case) buttonholers. BUT - some of the early attachments work on later machines, i.e. the seam guide 25527 is also a FW attachment, so who knows - here it is:

The attachments that originally came with the Featherweight seem to
have varied by year. I have several original/copies of instruction books
which show attachments as follows:
1937 - Foot Hemmer, Adjustable Hemmer, Binder, Tucker, Ruffler, and Cloth Guide.
1941 and 1946 - Foot Hemmer, Adjustable Hemmer, Binder, Edge Stitcher, Gatherer, and Ruffler.
1952 and 1955 - Foot Hemmer, Adjustable Hemmer, Multi-Slotted Binder, Edge Stitcher, Gatherer, and Ruffler.
1964 - Zipper Foot, Binder, and Seam Guide. Optional extras are listed as Buttonholer, Edge Stitcher, Gatherer, Foot Hemmer, Quilter, Ruffler, and Tucker. This book is for the Standard white model 221K7 although it's dated 1964 and other references to the 221K7 that I've seen say it wasn't introduced until 1968.
1977 - Foot Hemmer, Seam Guide, Binder, Zipper Foot, and Ruffler. Optional extras are Automatic Zig-Zagger, Buttonholer, Edge Stitcher, Optional extras are Automatic Zig-Zagger, Buttonholer, Edge Stitcher, Gatherer, and Tucker. This book says Rev 1177 and may be a reprint. The machine appears to be white but is gear driven, has the longer bed extension, a toggle light switch and a different bobbin winder than the others. The face plate is painted like the standard 221K. The case is like the standard 221K except that it has 2 closure latches. I think it is for a model 221K5.
All of the above attachments are the same as the ones that came with other straight-stitch low shank Singer models of the same year except for the foot hemmer which was different for Class 15 and Class 66 machines. The FW uses the Class 15 foot.
The only attachment made specifically for the Featherweight that I've seen is the darning and embroidery attachment. It consists of a very large feed dog cover and a darning foot. The box says it fits 15 Class and 221 machines. The date is 1952. The feed dog covers were either black or chrome.
----------------------------
Since we're using our FWs for patchwork. The Pfaff dealer over here sold me a seam guide ($7.95). There are 2 kinds..the old one is all metal. This one will mark your FW. The newer one has a nylon base so when you screw it securely onto the FW platform, it won't 'bite' into the enamel cosmetic. What I did is sew a sample of that all important scant 1/4-inch on the Bernina. Whenever I need to line up my seam guide for ptchwrk, I just whip out the sample..presto!! Don't know about you all but my FW was born on Oct 10, 1938 and I dread the use of tape or Dr. Scholl's for seam guidance.

I'd love to find myself a zig zag attachment (where the fabric moves, not the machine! Have you ever seen one?
The best place to find the accessories is from Singer dealers/repair people who have been in business a long time. Most of my best accessory purchases actully come from retired Singer repairmen. In addition to the zig-zag attachment there is also the button-holer and a blind hemmer that work similarly.

My featherweight came with all sorts of lovely feet. I have tried to use some of them but because of my deprived sewing background (mostly hand work, no training with a machine), I am clueless about how to use them. I did find someone who copied the pages from the original manual for me, but the instructions assume a certain sophistication. Would this forum be willing to discuss actual use of the feet? Maybe eventually we could even get a FAQ on FW feet!
Nancy, Nancy Johnson- Srebro's next book on the featherweights should be out about April. Apparently she is going to describe in detail the different feet and what they do. Mrs. Deloris Pickens, the avid buyer/seller of featherweights is presently stocking up on these, assuming that Nancy's book will create a demand. She purchased quite a few never used, but original green boxes filled with the accessories recently.
Also, did you know that the british machines came with different feet? And the free-arm came with a darner and darning hoop.
For anyone interested, Mrs. Pickens also has brand new, never distributed manuals, I think they are dated early fifties. She got them from a retired repairman who had a couple hundred just lying around. Sorry, don't know her price. Her phone # is (580) 765-6125 Krisi santilla@umd5.umd.edu

Look through your FW attachments for the fabric guide. It has a long slot, with a thumbscrew. You screw it into one of the two small holes to the right of the throat plate. Slide the attachment to adjust the distance from the needle to the edge of the fabric guide. Then, tighten the screw to hold that distance. One of my students in a Senior Citizens quilting class, showed me this attachment and how to use it. It sure beats magnetic guides and masking tape! And is easy to remove when you are doing a wider seam.
I bought a 6" C-Thru ruler at an art supply store, and have it stuck to the front of my FWs with a bit of FunTac. Then I always have a ruler handy to check seam allowances or adjust my fabric guide.

For all of you notions hunters, the Singer oil cans are going for a premium at flea markets these days...who would have thunk it, as they say?? My dear-old dad bought a GORGEOUS (I'm-trying-not-to-covet-it) 1938 FW in August but it didn't come with an oil can. He bought an oil can later for $20 at another flea. We've since seen the cans for much more. Who could imagine the fortunes of the lowly oil can would turn??

For Marti...the model number on my buttonhole attachment box is No. 121795. I haven't tried it yet but I'm assuming since it came with the machine it will work on it. The box says "For Singer lock stitch family sewing machines"...which leads me to believe it was interchangeable amongst several models.

Does anyone know the part number of the buttonholer that fits the
featherweights? I saw an old buttonholer, but there was no indication on
the enclosed information or the box if it would fit the featherweight. I
do have access to the part number from the box, however.
When Singer made attachments like these they would fit all of their low
shank machines, so over the years they changed part numbers due to style
changes. This is by no means complete, just what I have access to:
#121795 Dated 1941(on manual) in green box, works by adjusting wing nuts to appropriate length and width.
#160506 Dated 1948 or 1951 in black, red, or green plastic box.Works by putting cams the right size in the bottom of the foot. This is the prettiest, meaning it looks like it matches the Featherweights.
#489510 Dated 1960 in pink or green egg shaped case. Works same as above with cams, but is now ugly beige. Also, be sure that it doesn't fit a slant-needle, as the box or manual don't differentiate. The word "slant" is in very small letters on the metal of the foot. In fact if anyone wants the slant-needle one of these I will sell it for $5.00+shipping. As I don't have a machine it will fit on. The nice thing about the buttonholers is that they come with a metal plate to cover the feed dogs with, so you can do free-motion quilting.

A few days ago someone asked if the ruffler and the zigzag attachment were the same thing. I don't think so. I have a ruffler included in my green box. Today at a garage sale a found a zigzag attachment for the 221 and other machines. It comes with four cams (I only got three) that allow you to zigzag and do some other decorative stitching.

Also I was interested to learn that you can use the cover for the feed dogs that comes with the buttonholer for free motion quilting. What about using the walking foot on the featherweight? Does that work also?
I bought the deluxe low shank walking foot from Clothilde, and haven't had much success. The feed dogs don't line up with the pieces of the foot, and the fabrics don't seem to be feeding at the same speed on the top and bottom of the quilt. If anyone has any hints/tricks to make them work better, or if anyone knows of a better matching foot, please respond to the list. Thanks.

2. I had a Little Foot on my machine at the same workshop, Sharyn asked me to try puting my original presser foot back on and giving it a try. I found that the original foot in conjunction with the Dr scholls gave me a much more even seam. She pointed out that on the featherweight, the little foot does not make good contact with the fabric on one side of the foot and that the original pressure foot does.

My Featherweight works fine with my little foot. In fact, the LF wouldn't work at all well on my other machine, because of the location of the feed dogs.

Shelley: The oil can that fits in the clip in your Featherweight case is about 3" high (half of this is the nozzle), painted green and says "Singer Sewing Machine Oil" with the Singer logo. It is oval shaped, like the bracket. I also have green tubes of "Singer Motor Lubricant" in green boxes. I don't know if there may have been others. Apparently, the oil cans are rather expensive if you can find one.

I spoke two days ago to the man who serviced my Featherweight last year after I bought it. He runs a shop that repairs and sells old sewing machines, and specializes in Singers. His shop has lots of old sewing machines (no FWs) and he has lots of spare parts for them. He was also the first one to tell me about the Centennial version. I asked him about a zig zag attachment, but he didn't have any on hand. He took my name and will call if he ever gets any. He did give me a few insights about attachments. He said the Buttonholer and ruffler (originals) are going for fairly hefty prices, between $75 - $100 each. I have no idea what the zig zag will cost, he didn't quote a price for me. I asked him about using the buttonholer for a zig zag, and he said it would be possible. He also said that each one would not give you a "true" zig zag as it is a straight stitch machine. It will look like a zig zag stitch on the top, but the bottom will look somewhat odd, not like a machine that is capable of a true zig zag where the top and bottom are imaged the same. Perhaps anyone who has this attachemnt and used it can comment on this. He also said that any low shank zig zag attachment should work on the FW.

Hi Everyone,
I've been working on restoring several old sewing machines that I inherited and I found a price list for accessories from the back of the manual for a 1920 National cabinet machine. I'm sending it to the Bernina list as well as the Featherweight Fanatics, just to put some perspective on the prices we 'nina fans pay for our accessories. Also makes FW fans realize just how much the value of our old machines have increased. I've estimating 13,000% increase for the oil cans =:0

Subject: FW Even Feed Foot
Several people have mentioned problems with walking feet. Singer sells a walking foot for a low shank machine (which the FW is). It is called a Smooth & Even Feed Sewing Machine Foot and used to retail for under $20. I use mine for machine quilting straight lines and also sew all the binding on my wall quilts with it. Works terrific. Singer's top-of-the-line machines all had a walking foot as a standard accessory BUT those machines are slant needle hence that foot will not work on the FW. Hope this helps.

Subject: Wonderful old book by Singer . . . .
Kilda@aol.com sent out a request last week for information about some attachments she'd bought. I think I have found them in this book.
1. A 4" long tweezer/clip combination. I think this is something called the "bias cutting gauge" It fits on a pair of scissors. You then slide the bias piece (folded) into the clip to the measurement you want, and start cuttingbias strips!
2. A large U-shape with two screw knobs on the right side. this one may be something called an "underbraider" which "is used in sewing braid to the material by stitching through the center of the braid. Braiding is an attractive trimming for woolen or sild dresses and is applied easily and perfectly with the Underbraider. As no basting is required, a dress may often be braided within an hour or two."
3. A presser foot with a halfcircle cut out on the right. No pictures of this one.
4. Curved section like a hemmer foot to the right. to the left and in front is a screw holding down a metal clip over a half curve. I think this might be the "adjustable hemmer" but I am not entirely sure.

A few years ago I traded a buttonholer for a hemstitcher that a Singer dealer had gathering dust. I haven't heard mention of a hemstitcher on this list and am wondering if anyone has one and has used it. For those unfamiliar with them, they come in a green box marked: Singer Sewing Machine Company, HEMSTITCHER, No. 121387, Made in U.S.A. The box is the same size as the FW attachment box. The manual also says PICOT EDGER for Lockstitch Family Sewing Machine and the latest copyright date is 1942. It has pictures and instructions for attaching the Special Throat Plate (S.T.P.) to machines 15, 66, 99, 101, 201, 127, 128, and 221-1. The HEMS. is attached by a special long screw to the pressure bar. This gadget is used to pierce a row of tiny holes and surround them with stitches, sort of like a closely spaced row of mini-round eyelets. Lace may be crocheted along the edge of a pillowcase (for example) single-crocheting into the holes. It is a beautiful decorative stitch with many other uses.
If anyone has one of these and has successfully used it on their 221's, please tell us about it. I cannot seem to get the long screw to attach the HEMS. to the bar. On the last page of the manual it lists the numbers of the parts which correspond with each machine (listed above). All parts are compatible with my 221's but why am I having problems attaching it? What I need is a description of someone else's "special longer thumb screw" to see if I have the right one.
If this sends any of the rest of you looking for a hemstitcher, I would be glad to tell you the number of the throat plate that fits machines listed above. You want to check this number before investing; it is stamped on the plate. The HEMS. itself fits all models and so should the screw.

The story I heard behind these banks was that Singer would give them to women who put machines on lay-away so they could save their pennies in the bank til they could make a payment.
There are also two banks that are tin. One looks like a wooden dome top case sitting on a table and the other is a black machine on a table. They have the red Singer "S" logo. They are both only a few inches tall and apparently are quite scarce and command high prices> I'm on the trail of one for only $400, but I know a dealer of tin banks who sells by auctioning off his merchandise through catalogs and he showed me that he had sold one of each for over $1000 a piece.

Hi All,
I've got a Singer attachment that no one seems to have mentioned yet. It came with my first Featherweight, a 1935 AE which I use almost exclusively for my quilts and clothes.
It's called the Singer ball bearing Pinking Attachment for use on all Singer Lock Stitch Family Sewing Machines, No. 121021. "Adds a dainty finish to seams and edges." It is in it's original green and white box and came with 2 feed dog covers. I also have the original manual, copyright 1933, 34 & 35. It's really the neatest thing! There were also available strip cutter blades (which I've not been able to find yet). It's really heavy duty and works beautifully!
Now...if anyone finds a zig-zag attachment that they would part with, I would gladly consider a trade.

New Attachment!
I did get a real cool attachment which I have never seen before: a Singer Stocking Darner part #35776. It came in it's box with it's instruction booklet. The booklet is copyrighted in 1953.
The booklet gives the part #'s for the feed dog cover for the model 15 and 221 as #160719; and on machines # 66,99 and 201 as 160720; and machine #301 as 160823.
On singer machines 66 and 99 it shows the thread being passed through a hole in the slack thread regulator (instead of under it like usual threading). I always wondered what that hole was for.
This darner is really funny looking...I don't even think I could describe it. It's got a spring around it, and some curved finger things.
The book also lists a Flat Work Darner N. 36088, which is oval shaped and larger than the stocking darner.
I also found a greist buttonholer and a package of 8 buttonholer templates at my favorite thrift store.

Subject: Featherweight accessories
I went antiquing today and although I didn't find a single Featherweight, I did find 4 oil cans and a zigzag attachment. I now have 5 different pre-60's Singer oilcans. There is the short oval can (120862), the tall oval can (120861) the small silver round can, the large bronze round can, and a big green chooch that says it holds 1/4 gallon of oil. It's my guess this is what repairmen used to fill the smaller cans.
The zig-zag attachment is dated 1950 (160620-new number Terry) and was priced at only $15. I was almost jumping up and down. Then when I went to pay for all my finds, discovered this place discounts 10% for cash so got everything at even better. While standing at the cash register, my DH decides to look over the zig-zag. He pulls out the manual, then foot, then pulls out the cardboard which holds the foot in place and when he saw a dollar in the bottom he hurriedly put everything back before the salesgirl could see it and claim it. When I got outside I looked and there was $43. Every bill was dated 1963. Some woman must have stashed this away from her hubby over 30 years ago, knowing that he'd never find it there. That would have been a lot of money then. I wonder if she forgot about it? Anyway, I never find bargains on anything, so it was a nice find.

Griest attachments:they slip onto the front of an attachment foot. The attachment foot will fit on an FW, but they are very hard to find. I was lucky enough to get one in the first set of Griest attachments I bought. You need the attachment foot to use the hemmers, edgestitcher, binder or quilter foot. If anyone wants a pix of this attachment, send me your snail mail address and I'll send a copy to you. It is almost impossible to describe, but the pix is pretty clear.

Subject: Griest-yet again (sigh)
I seem to have created more questions-rather than answers. Let me try one more time. Griest made attachments for all sorts of machines-per Gordy. I have some which are high-shank, some which fit my FW and then I have the other sort.
The other sort should have in the set an attachment foot which fastens onto your FW in the usual way. The foot part looks very much like a short quilt foot-about 3/4" square with a small hole (for the thread) centered in it. If the foot is on your machine and you look at it, on the right hand side, there is a round blued steel circle-it sits in the back of the foot. It is attached, by a rivet. IF, and only if, you have Griest attachments that have a keyhole opening (hemmers, binders and edgers are all I have seen), that attachment slides onto the attachment foot. You do this by pushing the blue steel part forward and then the keyhole opening slips onto the rivet. You need to form a stitch and draw the threads thru and underneath the foot. they do work. I have tried them all out.
It just happened that the very first set of attachments I found in a junk shop were of this type. The lady said she only wanted 4 dollars since she wasn't sure it was a complete set. The set included an instruction booklet. Without that, I wouldn't have had any idea what this strange foot was for. Take a look at whatever Griest attachments you have. If they fit this general description, look for the little attachment foot. If you need a copy of the directions-with pix-and I haven't already sent you one, e-mail me an address and I'll get a copy to you.
If you don't have them, keep looking. I'm sure there are more out there. The only reason I have for thinking they are hard to find is that I've picked up 7 or 8 sets of attachments this fall. I have yet to see a second set like this. Should I find another one, I'll post it and whoever gets to me first can have it for my cost.

For Joe Hurray:
Without a picture it's hard to tell for sure, but your "movable bar" description suggests to me a foot with an attached quilting guide. If this is the case, the bar should be L-shaped and can be moved in and out perpendicular to the direction of stitching, to the right side of the presser foot. The short end of the L just touches the surface of the quilt and is used to keep a uniform distance between lines of straight quilting.
Just a guess on my part -- hope this makes sense.

One of my favorite attachments for my Featherweight back in the 1960's was the monogram attachment. Like the zigzag attachment, it moved the fabric as the initial was being formed. I haven't seen much talk about either of those attachments. I have seen several of each at an antique store in Pennsylvania. I will call information later today to get their phone number and see if they still have them. I have mine and love to use them, the pleasant little click-click sound is very reassuring as the initials or zigzag motifs are formed.

Subject: LOW SHANK ATTACHMENTS
Hello FWF's! It sounds like many of you are looking for low-shank attachments to fit your FW's or 99K's, and I know most people prefer to buy only Singer feet. However, if you cannot find Singer feet and just need "some" attachments, I have a suggestion. Last March I bought a low-shank attachment set from Sears, and the entire box of 16 pieces, manual and storage box only cost $27.99. Seven of the feet share one "adjustable holder" ankle, just like the Greist sets do, and those are the narrow hemmer, 1/4" hemmer, 3/8" hemmer, 5/8" hemmer, 7/8" hemmer, binder and edgestitcher. Four other feet have their own built-in ankles, and they are the applique foot, overcasting foot, zipper foot and gathering foot. There is also a quilting guide, a seam guide, a scissors cutting gauge and a stiletto for hole punching. All these feet fit my FW and 99K, since they are both low shank machines. I thought this was a very good deal when I found them. Yesterday I was at a New Home/Elna dealer, and I noticed in their display case several new attachments for sale, including a couple varieties of rufflers and walking feet. So, lots of the attachments you may be looking for are still being manufactured, and they will fit our older machines just fine.

Hi All!
For Mary (in Idaho): On the 7th you wrote "But somewhere I read that Singer didn't make a high shank..." I'm not sure that's correct. I went up and checked my "retired" Golden Touch and Sew, and it's definitely a high shank machine. I got this machine from my MIL lots of years ago; I'm not sure of the date it was made, but the copyright date on the book is 1970. I know there are a couple of other Touch and Sews out there, so maybe a couple more of us can check for you.
Terry: The "flat, two-pronged piece that fits toward the presser bar" is called a "Type II" in the book that came with the Greist buttonholer that I bought last weekend. The box on the other buttonholer (the one I didn't buy) had better illustrations and a list of machine types to go with each type of attachment foot. Maybe I can stop by again this Saturday and copy down the list. I don't quite see myself explaining to the folks who run this thrift shop that I don't want to buy the buttonholer, I just want to borrow it long enough to photocopy the box (surrrrrrre, lady!).

Terry,
That type of greist attachments fits machines with a knurled disc that
screws down onto the attachment after it is slid down from the front to
the back of the shank. There are two sizes, at least that I know of,
High shank and low shank. The low shank feet are 1/2" from the fork
thingy to the bottom, and they fit many old White rotary's, Sears
Kenmores, some New Homes...that I know of. The High shank attachments
are 3/4" from the the fork to the bottom, and the only machine I know
for sure they fit is the New Home NLB or NLC machines, which were made
in the 40's. I suspect the Free Westinghouse, which looks just like a
NLC or NLB, is also a high shank machine, but I am not sure.
The only reason I know the New Home machines are High shank is because I
have 3 of them, actually I gave one to my sister, and I have had a
difficult time finding the high shank attachments. I finally did find a
box last week though! HOOORAY!!!!! I paid 6.00 for mine, but she threw
in a couple of Simanco attachments I happened to be looking for, so I
felt quite pleased!
Anyway....I actually bought an old White Rotary, at least in part,
because I could use the low shank greist attachments with it....I have 3
boxes of them......

Since there is too much snow to do anything interesting, like go to thrift
stores, I cleaned out my sewing room. In the process, I got out both my
Kenmore buttonholer which fits the old White and the Singer buttonholer which
fits the FW. I have a little mystery here. The templates for Singer and
Kenmore are identical-down to the little letter squiggle inside each
template. They are interchangeable between the two buttonholers. The
feeddog covers are also twins. The Kenmore was made by Greist-it says so on
the bottom. Singer has only the Singer name on it. The templates go in the
same way; directions are almost word for word; oil and lube directions and
locations are identical. The ONLY difference is that the foot for the
Kenmore is a highshank attachment. I have a funny feeling that Singer farmed
out the mfg on that particular attachment. So-if you need a feeddog cover,
or extra templates for a Singer buttonholer that you already have, keep an
eye open. If the price is right, the Kenmore might be worth considering.
BTW, I only paid $5 for my buttonholer. Can't remember what the Kenmore
cost since I bought it brand new years ago.

Date: Sat, 13 Jan 1996 18:58:39 -0500 (EST)
OK, so I went back to the Thrift Shop to check out the
buttonholer box with the pictures and descriptions of the different
attachment types. The good news is that I had misread the price and it
was much more affordable than I had originally thought. Oh well, what's
one more buttonholer among friends...
Anyway, this Greist buttonholer has a plastic casing (that could pass as
blue) and the date on the instruction book is Copyright 1966. The
illustrations on the bottom of the box define five different types of
attachment feet, as follows:
Model #1, Side Screw Clamping. This is the type with the bent horizontal
prongs that will fit the FW. The box says this type will fit: "Singer,
White, Brother, Morse, Atlas, Kenmore, Domestic, Free Westinghouse and
most all imported straight stitch sewing machines"
Model #2, Top Clamping. This is the type with horizontal prongs that
slides on from the front. The box says this type will fit: "White,
Kenmore, Domestic, Majestic, Franklin, Worlds, Dressmaster and all Rotary
machines made by White & Domestic Sewing Machine Corp."
Model #3, Top Clamping. Also the type with horizontal prongs that slides
on from the front. These prongs, however, appear to be shorter than those
shown for Model #1. The box says this type will fit: "Kenmore (49, 71,
76), Free Rotary, Free-Westinghouse, New Home (Rotary), Stratford, Most
all machines made by Free & New Home Sewing Maching Company."
Model #4, Top Clamping. Also the type with horizontal prongs that slides
on from the front. In the illustration, the slot appears to be wider (and
the prongs therefore narrower) than those shown for Model #1. The box
says this type will fit: "Eldredge, National, Montgomery Ward, all
machines made by national Sewing Machine Company."
Model #5, Slant Needle. The box says "Singer only" [surprise! surprise!]
If you own an actual machine, you may be able to distinguish among models
2, 3, and 4 by the shape of the the knurled knob and needle attachment
mechanism shown. I will be happy to photocopy the bottom of the box if
anyone wants the illustrations -- sorry, I don't know how I could scan
these in. I may even be able to enlarge them a little via photocopier.

Per Terry in Montana's request: "MONOGRAMERS: Would someone please give the
part number on these and the copyright date in the manual?"
I just posted a note asking some questions about monogrammers, but I can tell
you that the one I have is No. 171256 for "slant-needle zig-zag sewing machines
for use with 750 series machines" It came with feed cover #161825 for "Touch &
Sew and Slant-O-Matic Zig-Zag sewing machines with elevator throat plates".
The manual goes into detail that other feed covers--#507661 or #86748--will be
needed for "Touch & Sew...machines with magnetic throat plates" and "zig-zag
throat plate of vertical-needle zig-zag...machines, respectively. The manual is
dated 1969 and was printed in Great Britian. Inside the hinged top door of the
monogrammer, one of the parts is also stamped Great Britian and has it's own
part unique number. Included in the box are 26 round disks for all the letters
A-Z. The manual also includes a clear plastic "initial placement guide". It's
very modern-looking, over-all, and I do not think it has ever been used! I am
curious if there were other models of monogrammers made by Singer, aren't you?

Some of you have had an interest in needle plates with seam markings on
them. You can get new marked plates for the 201, 15-91, 15-88, 15-90, and
15-125. It might also fit other 15-Calss machines but I'm not sure. It is
part no. 173585 and is available from Brewer if your dealer orders from
them. It will probably cost $10-12.

One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned are the Singer pinkers.
One type was called the ball bearing hand operated pinking machine. The
base and clamp are just like the Singer toy machines. It has a black
crackle finish and an adjustable guide.
The other type attaches to the machine in place of the presser foot. It
came in at least 2 versions. One has a black crinkle finish and is a real
contraption. The other version has a smooth finish, is smaller and doesn't
look to be quite as well made.

same size and shape as the Singer blind stitch attachment except it's red
rather than black and has 6 tiny discs which snap to the side to change the
stitch pattern. It functions surprisingly well and produces the most
beautiful and delicate patterns you ever saw. The instruction book is

Subject: FW Attachment & Parts List
I've procrastinated in typing this list because I didn't know how to
combine it with the one I published in October. And, while this list comes
directly from MACHINE SEWING by Singer, I am working from two copyright
dates of the same book and sometimes the same foot on one list has a
different name and number in the other book. My book's copyright is 1950;
my other source is a photocopy of a list from a book published before 1950
which Krisi sent to me. Obviously if they changed, improved and added feet
during this time period, what must they have done between 1950 and 1970?

I have both a 121795 buttonholer and a 489510. Both come with a feed dog
cover and screws. The 121795 feed dog cover is significantly smaller in
length, but the width is the same for both buttonholers. The 121795 does
NOT come with cams. There are adjustable ruler sections for setting the
desired width and bight of the buttonhole. Then you turn a knob to advance
the foot section ruler to its farthest point, hit the pedal and watch your
buttonholer appear. The 489510 comes with drop in cams, but again you turn a
knob to set the beginning of the buttonhole. They really don't look much
alike. I used to have a 121795 back in the dark ages when I owned a Spartan
(longer ago than I like to remember). I have one again. I can work out the
settings for the buttonhole size as I dimly remember the routine. What I am
in need of is the instructions for lubing the buttonholer. If anyone can
help, I'd appreciate it.

Someone asked anbout the differences in Singer buttonholers, and why all
the different part numbers. I hope this clarifies some of the questions:
Part Number 160506
This fits our favorite FW's and several other straight shank machines.
Many were produced through the 1940's. Thet are typically black with
white trim, a white knob, and usually come in the soft plastic boxes that
are green, black, or sometimes maroon (black and maroon are less common).
Part Number 160743
This is visually similar to the unit described above, but it fits slant
machines and was built for the 301 in the late '40's. I have used them
successfully on a Model 600 and a Model 744 (both slant machines). These
are less common than the unit above.
Part Number 489500 (or 489510)
These were produced in the very late '50's and into the '60's. The first
number fits straight machines and the second fits slant machines. They
can be identified by their plastic (not metal) covers, and come in
several colors, usually beige. Many of you will identify this version by
the oval or bullet shaped hard plastic box.
Part Number 381116
This is billed as the Professional buttonholer. It fits slant machines
of the 401 series and up. It is a more "modern" design than those above,
and it comes with plastic, not metal cams. One feature is the ability to
make round eyelets that are made similar to traditional shaped eyelets.
These units were made in Great Britain. There are two variations to
accommodate the magnetic needele plates that were used on some 600 series
machines.

I have a manual for 121795 Buttonholer and if anyone wants a copy, send
your address via e-mail and I'll send it to you. Lubricating:"a drop
of Singer oil or Singer motor lubricant to" the following points:
Looking from the front right towards the buttonholer, 3 places -- large
wheel behind the screw at center, on top of wheel; toothed wheel; and
towards the front below and to the front of the toothed wheel. Looking
from the left, 4 places -- front and back of word Singer, top of wheel
with wing nut on side and below that wheel near the plate. "Wipe dry so
as not to stain the work." The book also contains part numbers for
all the pieces of the buttonholer.
----------------------------
Subject: Tucker and Throat Plate
Susan,
I cannot identify your part #160845 or #121893. My MACHINE SEWING book only
covers parts up to 1950 so perhaps these parts were manufactured after that.
They could have the same name as parts on my list but were changed a bit,
thus a new number. I have several feet that are essentially the same but
each has its own number.
The large contraption with the two measured scales is called a tucker. It
is for making tucks lengthwise in the fabric and then also crosswise over
the lengthwise tucks if desired. All of my lists have the #36583 listed for
that foot. Sometimes numbers are inside the area that screws onto the
machine but I do have feet with no numbers so that's possible, too.
Your throat plate #121392 goes with your Hemstitcher and Picot Edger. That
is the throat plate for a 221. In order to use that Hemstitcher with other
models, you would need a throat plate specific to that machine. There is a
guide on the last page of the instruction manual with a list of plate
numbers corresponding to machines.

I learned a bit of trivia that I'd like to pass on. The little felt
circle that your spool of thread sits on on top of the FW, well,
there's usually another felt circle on the bottom of the machine (in
the middle where the bolt screws in). They say it's either a spare
circle or a pad to sop up extra oil.
----------------------------
Date: Sun, 4 Feb 1996 13:51:18 -0500
To LESLIE IN WISCONSIN:
Just wanted to let you know that the small felt pad on the bottom of your FW
is not a spare pad for the spool, nor is it to sop up grease or oil ... it
is instead meant to act as a lock washer for the nut that holds the plate
onto the bottom of your machine. This was necessary due to the vibration of
the FW during sewing. Without this felt lock washer, the nut can eventually
unscrew itself and fall off. This was Singer's low tech way of solving a
problem that today would be solved with a metal or plastic locknut.

Therefore, I am limiting this list to what I actually find in these book
s.
Please refer to my October 31, 1995 list in the FWF Archives for numbers
that Krisi, I and many FWFanatics found on the attachments that accompanied
our beloved FWs. Between the two lists you should be able to identify most
of your feet. A word of caution: Don't assume like many of us have, that if
you have a low shank foot that it will fit a FW. MACHINE SEWING covers
Model 15s, 24s, 66s, 99, 101, 115, 127-128, 201 and 1200, and 221. Early
model 15s do not take the same Foot Hemmer as later model 15s but that early
model 15 foot will fit the FW! But then, often the same attachment will be
listed for ALL the machines and models. I'd be interested in hearing an
explanation for this!
The first number listed below will be from MACHINE SEWING copyright 1950
;
any second number is from the previous edition. By 1950 six attachments came
with FW, but the earlier book only lists five attachments. I'm typing it
straight from the book including column headings. For your future treasure
hunts, I've included things that don't actually attach to your FW such as
Bias Cutting Gauge, Hand Pinker, etc. so you will know that they are out
there. Also, freearm FWs are not mentioned and probably weren't made prior
to 1954. Look on the Oct 31st list for those part numbers.
