Re: Mystery Sewing Machine Foot

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!)
