NEW Sewing Machine Embroidery & Darning Attachment
fits Singer 301 / 301A as well as the
Slant-O-Matic & Rocketeer Slant Shank Model Sewing Machines (i.e. 301, 401, 401A, 403, 403A, 404, 500, 503, etc...)

Your attention is called to the background template of this listing, but more importantly what do you see about the background?  Florals, greenery...

Well, it is a photographic reproduction of an actual piece of Art Needlework which was made entirely on a Singer Sewing Machine nearly 80 years ago.  But, you ask, how were those flowers created? 

With the right instruction, feed-dogs compromised and the appropriate embroidery/darning attachment, Machine Embroidery can range from the 'Practical' (darning) to the 'Artistic'...  Just look at the beauty of it - can you see the detail? 

You can start out simple - everything, as you know, takes practice.  But, before you can start at all, you will certainly need this Embroidery/Darning Attachment.

Let's face it - the old Singer ones are getting more and more difficult to acquire without a 'collector' price-tag.  Well, to fulfill your desire for Machine Embroidery as well as being cost-effective, this NEW Reproduction Attachment works beautifully!!!  I was quite impressed, actually, with how smooth it did work - I would rate this as the best replacement for having an original vintage Singer part.  There are a few features I found quite useful. 

#1 ~ The foot has a snap-up and down mechanism which allows you to easily slip your Machine Embroidery Hoop in and out of position.

#2 ~ The wider hole and clear foot allows easier stitch viewing.

Red-Work, Blue-Work, Green-Work, or whatever-color-Work are going to have an entirely different meaning with the ability to do it on your machine.  Or what about the old-fashioned Friendship quilts?  Take your finished quilt squares to a bridal shower and have all in the wedding party sign them in pencil.  Then follow their signature with your Embroidery Attachment - what a unique (cherished) gift that would be to present the bride.  Or even as a baby gift, you could use a vintage iron on transfer with the oh-so-darling prints and patterns from yesteryear and embroider a Nursery-Rhyme Quilt.  My mother has one (which I hope to inherit someday) and it is one of her most-treasured possessions.

Really and truly, with a little practice, you'll be able to follow a signature in no time at all.  I watched a good friend of mine do it after just a couple samples of her own name.  She finished an entire baby quilt with signatures from a baby shower.

Instructions for use will be included.

This auction is for the Embroidery Attachment only with Instructions.
The Hoop (in various sizes) is available in my other listings.

Dear Friends of the Needle,

....We are friends because we all know one thing in common, that is, the joy of the needle, that little one-eyed help-meet, that will act as a vent for all those artistic feelings that demand outlet and expression in the form of making and doing things.

What a big family we are, all wielders of the little sewing needle, the knitting needle, the crochet hook and the machine needle in its multiplicity of forms, from the very fine one that will sew the gossamer frock of the little girl’s fancy dress, to the heirloom quilt, to the sturdy member that sews our leather gloves and shoes. Truly, they are one-eyed helpmeets that have added to our comforts and helped us to make progress through this busy world.

But if the machine needles had not been harnessed to good reliable instruments, so that they could work in the quickest and neatest way, they could not have done so much good, and that is why we, as needle workers, are grateful to the age-old Sewing Machine Companies for giving us that vintage instrument and in turn, giving it a beautiful setting with which to work.

We also have to be thankful for the vintage service of instruction, so that even those with basic knowledge can be taught how to make the most of their machine and its wonderful attachments.

Now you have the privilege of purchasing vintage books and instruction on how to make, mend and design, with professional tips, all of which would cost a large sum if you took lessons in the ordinary way. Here you have the written word that remains, as well as illustrations and diagrams making every point clear. It is my privilege to impart some of that knowledge to you and it is a joy to know from your letters that it has helped women in some of the loneliest corners of the world. The word “Sewing” and all it conveys is beyond description in this limited space.

My special message to you is - be a Singer Sewer and your troubles are o'er. You can have pretty, smart frocks, dainty underwear, house-linen, and little Jack and Mary can be well and comfortably dressed without encroaching too much on the family exchequer.

If you want any information on machines or obtaining service for your machine, please write to me through my page and I will assist you.

In the meantime, I am going forth to continue the good work of gratifying more friends of theneedle.

As Always - Your Stitchery Friend,

April
