There are feet for all sorts of esoteric (to me) things like quilting, embroidery, binding, sewing zips in, hemming and on and on; on each of those there should be the word SIMANCO and a number, if you google that you can identify exactly what it is and what it was for. In fact every single part made by Singer has this great feature, really very handy.........
Oh poo, I've just realised that yours is a Jones so the above is of no use to you at all, sorry; but have a look for a number, perhaps they had a similar system.....Or Bilmo is a Jones man, he may know.

They're not even Jones feet. Just some my mum gave me that happen to fit. They all have numbers on like B220.
From left to right
1. Welting foot.
2. Concealed zipper foot.
3. Narrow hemming foot. (might be a feller, if that 'slit' goes right through
)
4. Straight stitch foot.
5. Gathering foot (not a zigzag friendly one)
6. Quilting foot (supposed to keep distances between rows the same using the outrigger bit) there are much better feet for quilting though. You can use it to keep stitching at an even distance, such as folding over a channel for a draw cord at the top of a stuff sack.

Thanks Mary. You've just opened a can of worms... I have to find out what most of those are now!
It becomes esoteric knowledge 
and folks become train spotters about presser feet.
I just know the ones I use
