Yours might be different, but my Singer feet are 1/8". If it is 1/4", that would work great for hammock bodies, and tarp edges.

I brought home a new machine today. This is a 1941 Singer 15-88 (native treadle). This was the first cabinet that I tried Howard Restore A Finish on. I was pleased with the results and decided to do another one of my cabinets today as well. Of course it came with a bunch of mainly useless attachments. Now I just need to clean a couple things up on the head and see if I can manage to not screw up setting up a new belt. Then it will be time to make some foot powered hammock gear.

Cabinet looks stunning!

Why are the attachments useless? There look to be some nice ones there.

Now that's nice. A 15-88 should be a great machine to treadle. I have a treadle cabinet just like yours, but it came with a crinkle finish, blackside 127 from 1941.
I was wondering today how many of us use a treadle: mine is my primary machine.

These work very well with ripstop.

In the grand scheme of things they're not useless, but for gear making they don't have a purpose that I'm aware of. I guess the four on the left have a use, not the three on the right though. I guess someone could put ruffles on their hammock, but it won't be me.
