75 year old sewing machine, Help!!!

[Neptunie2]

Ok I am working on making my first mermaid tail, and my grandma said I could use her sewing machine. The problem is her sewing machine is around 75years old and only does one stich, straight. It is a beautiful singer 15-91 machine here are some pics.

13374

It comes with tons of assorted attachments that seem to do everything.13375
Those are all of them , here is a list of all the attachments names:

1. The Foot Hemmer
2. The Adjustable Hemmer
3. The Multi-Slotted Binder
4. The Edge-Stitcher
5. The Gathering Foot
6. The Ruffler

I am wondering if there is any way I can use these attachments to sew my tail because there are no other stitches.
13376
The manual👆
Please help!!!

I have one that is very similar, I think, from my mum. I would look at the edge-stitcher attachment, if it does what I think it does, which is kind of like a blanket stitch on edges. I have no idea how to use it, sadly. :( I got a more modern machine when I started working on sewing stretch fabrics, so I could use a zig-zag stitch. What kind of material are you planning to use? Stretch fabrics like spandex or stretch velvet?

[deepblue]

Coveting your machine there... omg that is a beeeeauty.

But yeah, the type of fabric is the main thing here.

Ok here is the manual for the edge stitcher you can see if it is what you are thinking of!!

Is it the one?

[Miyu]

I'm so drooling over that machine, and it still has the manual! *swoon*

If all else fails, blanket-stitching by hand works :P Which I may be doing if I don't learn to stop being afraid of my tiny, awesome, modern sewing machine my dad gave me...

OH MY GOSH. THis looks exactly like ours!
