EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases WG Wilson's sewing machine attachments from 1880, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of crafting and garment-making in the late nineteenth century. The image features Wilson's innovative plaiter or tucker attachment, which was designed to create beautifully folded fabric with precision and ease.
The guide on the attachment could be set to the desired width requirement, allowing for tailored and detailed work. As the folded cloth was fed through the machine, it would transform into stunning pleats or tucks, adding texture and dimension to garments. This technology revolutionized the sewing process, making it more efficient and precise than ever before.
The photograph captures a moment in history when craftsmanship and innovation intersected seamlessly. It serves as a reminder of the skill and dedication required to create clothing by hand in an era before mass production took over. Each stitch made with these attachments tells a story of creativity and artistry that continues to inspire makers today.
As we admire this snapshot of Victorian ingenuity, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also honoring the timeless tradition of sewing as both an art form and practical skill.
