Either that or a Bar tacker. Either way I'm pretty sure its a specialized machine.

It's a drapery tacker, and an old clunker at that. Single purpose machine: tack pleats into drapes.

I worked at an event stage and lighting company and the woman who ran our drape shop was one of the top paid people on the crew.

Singer 269 class bartack with a Camatron modification. One of the series of machine that taught me patience in the early years of my career. 

It was good clean fun until the stop motion got out of whack. My preference for old bartacks is the Juki 980 class.
