Thanks. Number 6 is actually a pressed foot, I think. Here's a pic of the other side.

You know, I thought I had the Manuel, but there must be more than one. The thing I have has a total of 43 pages, and is like reading a book on basic sewing methods. It's the "operating Manuel." I thought when I pulled the Manuel out that...this is mighty small for a machine like this. What the heck am I going to use a ruffler for?

I too have accumulated 9 machines this rather long winter. All have been have been cleaned, adjusted, oiled, and new belts/bobbin tires. What I have learned is that the older all mechanicals are really made to last.
I found a home for two with my friends and sold the White model 970 for enough to almost fund the other 6.

Currently using the Kenmore Model 90.
Not sure which one I will keep....

Oh, I do have the same Manuel you posted a link to. I guess I just didn't pay close enough attention to all the diagrams, I haven't looked at it too much since I used it to figure out how to get it started. Just went through it again and I couldn't find that ruffler though.

Duh...yes it is. It appears to be for left or right hand something depending on which way it's installed. I'd say it's another zipper foot, but the grooves on the bottom make me wonder.

Nice! But all those young machines make me wonder what you have against the middle aged ones from a few decades farther back.

# could #6 be an invisible zipper foot?

Is that 'twin needle-one bobbin' ?

What are your plans for it?

Not sure if I have posted this before but this is the treadle I bought for my wife which is what I use for most of my sewing now. Gee it's nice, there is something about the sound it makes when sewing
