Please, Don't ask me to give a Value on Your Sewing Machine, or send large email attachments with graphics of your sewing machine, all emails asking me for Values will be ignored. There are too many variables involved in giving estimates of Value by email.
Not For Sale-No Instructions

Hemstitcher
I have Two Hemstitchers, both in the Original Boxes, with the Original Instruction Booklets, the Second Graphic from the top shows the Part of the Hemstitcher that Actually Pierces the Fabric, it can be used on Class 15, 66, 99, 101, 127, 128, 201, and 221 Machines. I'll give the Numbers for the Special Throat Plate for each Machine Class Below.
Class 15 and 201 Machines.........Throat Plate #121388
Class 66 (except 66-1) and 99 Machines........Throat Plate #121389
Class 101 Machines........Throat Plate #121390
Class 127 & 128 Machines.......Throat Plate #121391 including Screw 202J
Class 221 Machines........Throat Plate #121392
The Ladies that used some of these Vintage Attachments must have had the patience of Jobe, I tried this one and it's difficult to get the second line of stitching accurately lined up with the first, with practice I think anybody could master it. Yes, it takes two rows to complete the Hemstitching, and one for Picoting.

I have a book that gives complete instructions on placing the sock in the darner and here are a few quotes,
"This is the latest and best device FOR HOLDING A STOCKING so that it can be darned AT ANY POINT, by any one who can run a sewing machine.
BECAUSE
It is the most convenient, the most practical and the most useful device ever offered to anyone with stockings to darn and a sewing machine available.
It is so much better than any similar device for the purpose.
It makes DARNING A PASTIME and a work of art.
It will not tear the stocking, nor will the darning hurt the most tender feet."
Everything in the Quotes is on the Front Page of the Instruction Booklet, with a Copyright Date of 1909.
SingerCraft Guide #'s 120936 & 120987, also given in my Book is #121079--This is what Singer had to say about these, "Singercraft has become established as a separate and distinct creative sewing art which may find varied expression in colorful rugs, whether antique or modern, in draperies, upholsteries, household linens, stuffed toys, lingerie, dress trimmings, and smart accessories; in fact, throughout the field of sewing."
I have complete instructions with another Generic Craft Guide from the same time period, plus the Book I have (A Teachers Guide--Titled Machine Sewing) has Instructions.
