Mystery Feet

mystery2.jpg Marked "Singer 161612", a tiny and delicate foot with a big blocky mount for where it attaches to the presser bar. Notice the eye just in front of the needle.

Pam says: The little hole is for threading gimp or a small cord through, which you would then stitch over. It is called a "cording foot".

misskhaki@home.com (Cathy) writes: Dan, This foot came with many machines. The description from the Singer 500 manual describes it: "This light flexible foot is designed for satin stitching. It provides maximum visibility and allows closely spaced zigzag stitches to feed evenly. It is ideal for accurate placement of satin stitching in buttonholes, monograms, motifs and applique work. The eyelet on the left side of the foot accommodates a filler cord."
