Re: Mystery Sewing Machine Foot

I thought it was a zigzag attachment but wanted to read what had been posted already!

Hooray for llg930!!
I followed her link and lo and behold, there it was, about half way down the page.

Way to go!!

Rufflers have more working parts and although it might have been used as a buttonholer (and states that on the referenced web page) I believe the primary use is to overcast. Indeed, the one above it is shown on that page as creating a three stitch zigzag, typically what is used today to attach elastic and form a flexible seam (the extra "toe" on that one might have been a guide for the elastic!)
