BTW - they will fit one like Quilter53 just posted
And one that looks like this (the one in the back is a New Home Rotary, so the slide plates won't fit - but everything else will).
and one that looks like this
in fact, this is what it looks like
This is what I mean about the "stepped" presser bar. Even if it comes with a top clamp adaptor - when you take that off, this is what you'll see.

You'll know if the tucker is correct for the machine when the bar rests right in front of the needle. if it's not right, the bar will be either too far away to get the hook on then needle without bending the bar, or the needle will hit the bar. You can adjust for this a little bit becaus the hole to mount the tucker to the machine is elongated.
Johnston adjusted for this by the coil on the end. For New Home, the distance is longer, so there is a pretty good sized spread to the coils. On some there is no spread, and others it's in between. But other than the different spreads to the coils, the tucker is the same for different machines.

Jim - is that the adapter you posted about a while ago? I thought you found one. I've seen several come up on eBay, so if you want, I can send you a heads up when I see another. It's the most common of the "weird" adapters for New Home.
