Great restoration piece! Please see pictures for condition and details. No cracks, marked"W&G WHEEL STOP PAT DEC 15 1857" measures approx 12" long. The part is in good condition with surface paint loss. 1857 Up for sale is an antique Willcox& Gibbs sewing machine W&G wheel. It has an effect of embroidery, like redwork.Antique WILLCOX& GIBBS Sewing Machine W&G Wheel Stop PAT DEC 15. I used this as tone on tone edging to great effect. It can be used with embroidery thread or regular thread to make a decorative line.
On the top side of the cloth there is a small line but on the underside the chain is very visible.and very lovely. No seam ripper needed and it comes apart very fast.Īnother thing that it does well is the chain stitch itself, as a decorative feature. To a person who is making a mock garment - or muslin - it is an advantage that can save time and improve accuracy. The chain made on the fabric can unravel if broken mid seam. The Willcox Gibbs has a very handy function that would be useful to any seamstress today. The stitch is a chain rather than two threads hooked together top and bottom like a regular lock stitch. It makes a humming sound and a treadle would be nearly silent. The lack of bobbin also makes this a very quiet machine too. It is cheaper to buy and uses less thread as there is no bobbin to add thread to. The advantage for use first would be cost. They have a distinctive circular shape that was treadle and hand crank then later fitted with a very fast electric motor. The Willcox Gibbs has been made from the 1860's through the 1930's with very little change. Because of this, I thought I would try to shed a little light on this little lovely for those that may have one but are unsure of what to do with it. I had a tough time even threading mine at first. They are very different than your more common lock stitch machine so it's no wonder they get little use. The Willcox and Gibbs Chain stitch Sewing Machine is one of those vintage sewing machines that are seen frequently and used rarely.
