Original vintage Sears Kenmore 158-series sewing accessory bed and storage case featuring rare decorative stretch cams, the original boxed chainstitch kit, and the built-in buttonhole mechanism. Please read the full description and review all high-resolution photos carefully for exact contents and condition. Key Included Features & Attachments
Built-In Automatic Buttonhole Mechanism:
Important note for Kenmore buyers: Unlike older Singer or early Kenmore models that rely on an external, bulky clamp-on \"foot\" contraption, this generation utilizes an integrated bed carriage unit built directly into the accessory tray. It features the sliding adjustment lever with the red button and directional start arrow (\"S\" cycle) that lock onto the machine’s bed to automate buttonhole sizing and stitching. The buttonhole unit is fully present, intact, and built right into the tray. Complete 14-Pattern Cam Tray (Includes Rare Stretch Cams): Included Cam Numbers: 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 21, 22, 23, and 24. Rare Stitch Discs: Includes the highly sought-after stretch / double-pattern cams (Nos. 21, 22, 23, and 24). These higher-numbered discs were only provided with premium, top-tier machines for complex stretch and decorative embroidery patterns, making them significantly harder to find than standard utility cams. Includes the genuine Chainstitch Throat / Needle Plate (#31982) and the chrome bobbin looper / shuttle adapter insert. What This Kit DOES NOT Include: No Standard Presser Feet: The lidded/spring-latched accessory storage compartment does not include standard presser feet (such as the zipper foot, satin stitch foot, rolled hemmer, or standard zigzag foot). No Small Tools: Bobbins, screwdrivers, lint brushes, and edge/seam guide thumbscrews are not included. Next day shipping.
