Sewing machine foot? For some kind of deep hem?

You're getting close! I'll give some more time for people, I do think it's unlikely anyone could name the tool exactly.

A tucker foot for a sewing machine for creating seams.

It is indeed! Specifically this one.

Looks like a jig you put an a saw or a router to follow a edge with a given distance.

Not the correct tool, but it is related to edges! Kinda.

Some sort of mechanism for scaling measurements up or down by a factor of two?
