Freecyclic goodness

[luckykaa]

I got a free sewing machine! Yay! Freecycle is good when something you want comes up.

Costumeses will be mine! 

It has many feet.

And looks like this.



It also came with about a dozen bobbins, and all these feet



From left to right,

1. Buttonhole foot,
2. No idea (Seems to be another buttonhole foot but has no rack on the bottom),
3. Normal foot.
4. Satin stich foot.
5. Overcasting foot (no idea how to use that).
6. Blind hem foot.
7. Probably an embroidery/darning foot.
8. Zipper foot.
9. Mysterious plastic foot.
10. A bit of metal that presumably serves some purpose. 

Feel slightly guilty having all these bits and no idea how to use them. 

I could really use a manual.  I went through the ones available on the manufacturer's website and the 3300 seems reasonably similar (except the bobbin threading takes a weird route, but that's a minor detail), and the image quality is just about usable so I'll use that.  The Ruby series is near identical but the official site doesn't have the manuals and the only place I can get them from is the world's ugliest website (but I could pay for the pdf).

2. Not a clue how that's different from 1.

5. Line up the edge of the fabric with the flat vertical bit of metal. Set machine to overcasting stitch (like a zigzag or something). Stitch. The idea is that the foot stops the thread getting too tight, so the edge stays flat.

6. Cool! Looks like a torture device. Mine's not like that at all.

7 and 10. Whoa. No idea.

9. I think that's something to do with fabric slipping (or the other way around).

I think I got my manual from that site, I just printed off the word (?) version you get for free. I didn't feel guilty as I bought a zipper foot from them.
