That looks like a great find! She's a beauty. You will love her. They are just perfect to do piecing on IMO.

Fabulous - but I don't think that the buttonhole attachment in the turquoise oval box is for the featherweight.

Thanks all, I do know that the one in the oval casket is not for the featherweight. Also the speedweve and then there are the 23 extra button hole cams. Sure as heck it was a family member who pawned this one, not the owner.

I'm wondering why this machine came with two buttonholers? Both the newer beige one and the older (original) black one will fit your featherweight. Buttonholers usually came with five standard buttonhole cams and you could buy a set of additional sizes but 23 cams are more than enough for the two you have, so you must have some duplicates. Not every Featherweight comes with a Zigzagger so this is a bonus.
