This is true - while I've often bought a set of "junk" to get one or two attachments - this time the "junk" turned out to be the neat part!

I have a Standard Rotary machine with the chain stitch adapter. I actually ended up with the Chain Stitch spider first, and then just had to find a machine to use it on. A week ago I found a manual for it online, and purchased it. I have an older one but it has no information about chain stitching. So when I saw this one I jumped on it.

It says "2 in 1" and shows the regular bobbin case along with the chain stitch spider.



And more info. . .




It's got the directions for a set of Toof attachments, which I already own the basic set (or three . . .) In the back it shows two optional attachments which I'd never seen before. So another thing to keep the lookout for.





A few days after "winning" the manual, I found a set of Toof attachments in a nice box - pictures were bad, everything piled up in the middle. The price was low, no one bidding - and I wanted the box. I was the only bidder on this one.

Today the box showed up in the mail, I opened it and started putting the feet where the belonged, and was hoping I'd find the missing binder foot - and I moved the tucker and ruffler - and my eyes got really big!!!!

This is what I pulled out from under them . . .



And underneath that was this one!




Not quite the same as the etching foot in the manual, but still a nice hopping foot for the Standard machine.


The embroidery unit is taking a bath as it's gummed up and not moving yet.



I was starting to feel like I was getting a handle on my SMAD - and then I get this and now I'm all ready to be back on online enlarging pictures and searching for the hidden treasures!

Very cool finds! Can we talk you into a youtube type video (or three) of some of your less common attachments in action? I know I would like to see them.

wow that is neat! What exactly do? not zig zagging...

The first is an embroidery attachment. You run the embroidery thread through the hole - and the little arm goes back and forth in front of the needle and sort of weaves into the seam line.

I'm currently making a crazy quilt that I plan on using the attachments for embellishment and trimming. I've got yards and yards of vintage lace I'm using with it too.

so it actually DOES sort of zig zag the embroidery thread? nice!
