Singer Adjustable Tube Foot How-to?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]536693[/ATTACH]
Does anyone know of a source for instructions on how to use this type of tube foot? I've searched You-Tube and Google with no luck. Their is no Simanco ID inscribed on it either.

Nope, that video is a gathering foot, I have one of those too. It may function similar though because the foot and vertical plate have a bit of spacing between them but I don't understand how the fabric would feed under and over the foot.

Just a guess but I found that shows the fabric being thread through the foot. http://www.cutexsewingsupplies.com/p...e-presser-foot I'm guessing that it is somewhat similar to a binder in that the fabric goes through and keeps the stitches an even distance from the edge. The above site also shows which machines it fits. Maybe one of them has instructions on how to use it. I do see that there are some Singer machines listed. Maybe you could find a manual at singerco.com

Sorry, I only know about vintage SIMANCO domestic attachments. This looks like a light industrial, and this style is in current production. So there should be info on it available.
There are some really neat specialized feet available, and some have not significantly changed from what was available 50 years ago.
The vintage SIMANCO tube foot #35984, is very different looking, and the full set comes with two long tools that work with it (one is a tube turner, not sure what the other is). The set is #35985

The other one is called a Strip Wire in the parts list, but is called a Threading Wire in the 1938 version of "Machine Sewing" and appears to be inserted into the attachment/foot while stitching. I also think that the flatter one could be used for straps that have one closed/stitched end. I remember turning straps over a pencil. The wire could probably be used to turn the strap when both ends of the strap are open and will be sewn into a seam, like for shoulder straps. I remember attaching a safety pin on one end and threading it through. I suppose you could make the strap longer if you close one end to turn and then cut off the closed end.
