    I think this lady is spot-on. One on left is seam guide, middle is rolled hem foot, and I'll go with someone else's thread that the foot on the right is a darning foot.

    The seam guide - will it fit on top of your sewing plate with a screw to hold it in place. I think it is a handy gadget and I love mine. You get straight seams if you can use it. - J.

    the one on the left is a guide - you put it on your machine bed - there should be a hole for the screw - and you can adjust it to however wide you want your seam to go.

    Was the first machine an Elna with the cams? Wonderful machine, looks just like the items I had from Mom.

    You are exactly right on that! Those look like signer attachments. I have them all for one of my older machines...NOT a feather weight, a machine dated from 1994 ish.

    Irishrose is exactly correct! The seam guide is turned over, insert the screw into the long slotted over hole and screw into your faceplate. The screw can be loosened and the seam guide slid one way or another and retightened to adjust for different seam allowances. Have fun! :-D :-D

    Left one is a seam guide...you screw it down to the bed of the machine.
    Middle one is a rolled hem foot. you work the edge of the fabric into the slot in the foot, and it rolls the fabric while you hem it.
    One on the right is a darning/quilting foot. The long part goes over the screw that holds the needle...as the needle goes up and down, so does the foot.
