Here are a few just to give you an idea

And a National long bobbin set


What I have are two like the one immediately above the piece of paper that says "National 3". One plate is about 1/2" wider and longer than the other. There are two tuckers in this bag also, one looks like the one with the National 3 collection. The other tucker has a spiral spring and a few other small differences, both Greist. Thank you for the photos and explanations.

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!!

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.

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.
