Willcox & Gibbs: Sewing Machine Pioneer Series
No1 NEW RELEASE, AMAZON Oct 2019. The Willcox & Gibbs chain-stitch sewing machines are one of the most collected sewing machines of all time. Some say the sewing machine represents the finest piece of '19th Century' precision engineering in the world. Certainly the company that made them thought so, advertising their machines as ‘Beyond Comparison’. Hard to argue with, seeing that so many are still working on a daily basis 150 years later.
Their beautiful lines and superb stitching make them a collectors dream. Today most enthusiasts try to have at least one W&G in their collection. Let me tell you what I have learnt about this amazing machine and the even more amazing men who built it.

Excellent read for collectors/sewists using W & G machines
Well written and illustrated. A valuable resource for owners of these machines coming from a real “hands on” writer. This is a must have on the shelf of your sewing room.
