Description: This rare foot would be great for the collector, or the sewer who works with gathers. The item featured in this auction is known as either the gathering foot or the shirring foot. What makes this one so special is that it is the earlier version, part # 25979, rather than the commonly found # 121441. It appears in Singer's teacher textbooks, Machine Sewing, dated 1924 and 1930, while the rounded toe we're more familiar with is found in the later editions of this reference book. This attachment is stamped with its part # 25979, as well as "SIMANCO U.S.A." on the side of the shank. It fits all Singer low shank vintage sewing machines, such as the class 15, 27, 28, most 66s, 99, 201, 306, 206, 237, and many others, as well as the beloved Featherweights 221 and 222. It is in good to very good used condition, with very little darkening from age, or other spots/dings. It's all ready to jump into your next project, and give many more years of use. Also included in this auction will be a COPY of the section (2 paragraphs) from the Singer's teacher textbook of Machine Sewing which covers the use of this attachment. These give detailed information on how to get started using your "new" accessory, with illustrations. It's quite easy, and you should be able to produce very nice shirring with just a little practice. Here's your chance to add a wonderful attachment to your accessories for your vintage low shank Singer!
