That's darling! Is it a 3/4 size machine?

I have that exact same box with those feet. How cool. I found that the one for putting on trim (the kind of flat one with various slots) didn't play right with bone casing - It gave a beautiful, even stitch line along the edge, but the friction of the casing running through the slot in the foot pulled it too tight, and once sewn on it caused the corset to curl. I'm sure it'll be fine once it's got some boning in, but I won't do it again.

Thank you bookwyrm :cheer: It is indeed a 3/4 machine and goes like a dream :cheer: I can't wait to play with the attachments! :)
Thanks for the heads up on that foot :) If where you insert the bone casing in the foot were different, made to sit higher off the plate to give it a little room under the foot, it might have worked. I still need to get a zipper foot and see if I can find a walking foot :)
