Vintage Greist Attachments Tin Ruffler Tucker Hemmers Sewing Machine Binder in

Greist Manufacturing Company of New Haven, Connecticut made sewing machine attachments that helped home sewers add ruffles, tucks, bindings and neat hems, and this set still lives in its black "ATTACHMENTS" tin. The lid has gold lettering inside a looped border, and the hinged case is lined in purple marbled paper printed GREIST ATTACHMENTS with labeled spots for each foot. It makes a charming sewing-room display piece or a useful kit for anyone who sews on vintage machines.
