Greist Attachments

The Two Spool came with a box of attachments. At first I thought they were the same as the set that I got with the Free long bobbin machine, but they are not.

Here is the set that came with the Two Spool machine. It also has the instruction manual, and the page showing the underbriader shows the word "Eldredge" so it was printed for that specific machine. The instructions I have for the Singer underbraider shows a similar picture, but the word formed is "Singer"

And this is the set for the long Bobbin. They are about the same except for the underbraider and shirring plate. Those two plates look similar, but they are used in different applications. The Shirring plate is only used with the Ruffler.

And the cases.

Are the feet different heights? I would love to have a 2 spool.

I went and looked, and they are different heights. The one for the Eldridge is slightly shorter and the notch is slightly wider.

Greist must have been one heck of a company back in the day. They made attachments for everyone.

MacyBaby, those wooden boxes are just beautiful.

If I have MachinusMustusRescuitus, I am thinking maybe you have an Attachment Disorder?

;-)

Cecilia - I love that!

Though all funning aside, I work for an organization that sometimes deals with children with that issue. So I'll have to make sure to call it Sewing Machine Attachment Disorder - or SMAD. My staff think my sewing machine addiction is amusing.
