Default Wheeler Wilson attachments

This is a really neat set! I've seen pictures of the main foot on a W8 - the shirr plate does line up correctly to be used with the W9. Don't know if the feet would fit as mine needs a bit more tri-flow before the screw will come off.



This is the attachment foot - with the glass insert (and yes, it is glass!)



And attached to one of the hemmers.



I bought the attachments in one auction, and a bunch of misc items along with two bobbins was in a second, and I won that one too - the glass part was in with the second group. When I see unique items, I like to check out other listings by the same seller. Though in this case I didn't realize what that bit of glass was until I had it in in my hand.

This does look like it goes with an older style WW, so I may need to find someone with a machine in need of attachments.

The glass part has two holes, so that would make it the Braider. I find it interesting that the "foot" is refered to as the Cloth Presser.

The ruffler has patent Mar 19, 89
the tucker says Pat Aug 27, 89 The Goodrich Mfg Co.

One of the binders has Pat Mar 17, 91

Here is a comparison with the WW9 foot - more different than I thought . . .

And the shirring plate since I left that out of the first picture

Those are neat. I've made up my mind I'm going to keep my Singer 9W-7 so when I see pics like yours I get real interested.

After looking around on the needle bar site - it appears the new feet are for a Wheeler Wilson 9, which is slightly different than the D9 (which is the same a the Singer W9).

The 8 has a hole, but no slide part in the foot.
