Here are a few just to give you an idea And a National long bobbin set http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps8bb65caf.jpg |
Thanks for posting this Cathy! I was curious enough to check my oldest attachment box and they are the top-clamp-no-adapter-needed type. You made me look LOL!!

Macybaby, I'm impressed with your knowledge of attachments and fittings.

Elnan- if you plates are different widths/lengths - they are for two different machines. IIRC, New Home is the narrowest (and looks almost the same as the National) and Singer/Free (and some Whites made for Sears) take the widest.
I probably have 4-5 Greist style tuckers - they made several modifications over the years. Same with the Ruffler. Sounds like you have an assortment from different sets - the fun part is figuring them all out! |
This thread comes close to my Sticky suggestion.

This isn't near organized enough for putting in a "sticky" group. Once the Shed is done, I'll start organizing and posting details on the sets. That would be useful information - this type is just for fun.

Ohh, that will be cool, I'm looking forward to that. You have so many cool toys!! Thank you for sharing them with us. :)

Yeah...I agree! I'd love to see some sort of catalog of attachments with info on who made them, what machine they are for and what they do, along with great pics of the attachments in action. I'll be happy to help with the project. I'm sure others will chime in too.
