EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases WG Wilson's sewing machine attachments from 1880, a true testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of the era. The plaiter or tucker attachment featured in the image allowed for precise folding and stitching of fabric, showcasing the intricate details that could be achieved with this revolutionary tool.
The guide on the attachment was meticulously set to meet specific width requirements, ensuring a perfect finish every time. As cloth was fed through the machine, it emerged beautifully folded and ready for further embellishment or use in garment making. This process exemplifies the artistry and skill involved in traditional sewing practices during the late nineteenth century.
The photograph captures not only a piece of history but also a glimpse into the world of crafting and garment making in 1880s London. The attention to detail in each component of these sewing machine attachments is truly remarkable, highlighting the dedication and precision required for such work.
Overall, this image serves as a reminder of how far technology has come in aiding creative endeavors like sewing while also honoring the legacy of inventors like WG Wilson who paved the way for modern innovations in textile production.
