Billy,
Here are pics out of my manual. I could not find the place to post pics in the private message area.
Also if anyone else has any idea as to where to find these parts please help. I have already looked on the sears kenmore site. They can not be found there. I hope these are clear enough to see.

Do you want vintage parts (from old machines) or replacement parts (new)? I usually try to go to a local sewing machine dealership first (one that does repairs on sewing machines) so I can avoid shipping costs, which can add greatly to low-priced items. When that doesn't work, here are some online places I check:
http://www.sew4less.com
http://www.sewingpartsonline.com
http://www.vintagesingersewing.com
I also sometimes check eBay. Googling can turn up other places to check as well.
Lostn51 on this forum (Billy) may actually be the most efficient person to check with first.

Thanks, I do have Billy on the look out for these attachments for me. I have checked on line. The problem is that they do not make these parts anylonger. I will have my son to post something on craigs list for me as well.

What brand of machine is it?
There are a number of vintage sewing machine groups for specific brands on Yahoo! (http://groups.yahoo.com ). If you join the group for your machine, often there are people there who specialize in that brand and either have parts or can direct you to others likely to have parts for it. There's also a "wefixit" or "wecanfixit" group for sewing machines on Yahoo!; that would be another good group to join. Just do a search on groups for your brand of machine and on vintage sewing machines.

It's easy to join and leave groups once you have your Yahoo! ID. Default membership for groups is individual emails, I think. I always edit my membership to "special notices only" and view posts online. This saves my email inbox from being inundated with messages.
