Very interesting and pretty! Nice to see antiques that do something, not just sit there looking pretty!

Yes, thank you for sharing the instructions and your video. There's also a youtube video on the attachment and the person made their own spool holder too. It's rare to find the attachment with the spool holder. Only one of mine came with the original spool holder. Then I had a couple made.

I found an article in the Journal of Domestic Appliances May 1st 1885 (Vol 13) page 210
https://archive.org/stream/journalof...earch/peerless "One of the chief and most useful accessories of the sewing machine that is now being offered to the sewing machine trade by the enterprising. Sackett Manufacturing Company, of Wallingford, Conn., is their new embroiderer, which has been named the Peerless, from the perfect confidence its owners and manufacturers have in its superiority to all other attachments of the same description, The "Peerless" is certainly an easy working, attractive and substantial embroiderer, manufactured altogether of steel and nickel plated. It will work equally well with silk, chenille, tinsel, or worsted. The embroiderer is now-a-days perhaps one of the most interesting attachments when well shown up to the female users of sewing machines who are as a general thing more or less interested in the fancy-work, now so universally popular, As will be seen by the company's advertisement in this number, the "Peerless" is made up and in stock for a number of leading sewing machines - - and will be adapted to any machine and run through to order by the machinery plant at Wallingford, in amounts of one gross, At an early day the "Peerless" will probably he manufactured for every machine extant" Here is a listing of the editions they have on public file https://archive.org/search.php?query...iatype%3Atexts |
