Willcox & Gibbs by Alex Askaroff. Please note that I say James Willcox and of course it is Charles Willcox. Sorry about that. I was on a roll.
You are the prophet of sewing machine world Mr Askaroff ,Please keep sharing your beautiful machines.
Great video, lovely machine. The lines are lovely
I have a W&G 'pay-tented', 'pay-tanted', whatever! So precious! I love your accent! Look at that room full of them on display! It's like heaven!!!
I just love the beauty and simplicity of the Willcox & Gibbs chain stitch machines. I have been searching for one I can afford for years now. Oh well, hopefully some day. Thank you so much Alex, you have made a dark & dreary day much brighter.
Excellent Alex, much appreciate it.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Another wonderful video! And timely...I've been piecing (144 blocks), and now even quilting, a queen-size quilt using only my W&G hand-crank and treadle machines. LOVE MY W&G's!! 1885 &1892 vintages.
Yes the W&G simply beautiful. Even today most of them make a perfect stitch. That says something for great American engineering.
Thank you, Mr Askaroff! Enjoyed the video. I am looking into collecting old machines. I have a New Home treadle with paperwork dated 1906, and still sew on it. I have taught myself to do maintenance, since nobody around here does it!
Brilliant videos! Just discovered I have owned a W&G for years! Been on a shelf and I paid no attention to it! Just liked the shape! I will treasure it a bit more now that you have enlightened me!
Beautiful machines. Thank,you. Xx
I have a W&G industrial sewing machine. I bought it at a yard sale 35yrs ago works beautifully. Had made my kids holloween costumes for 15yrs(my ex wife didn't sew). I learned to sew from both my parents. It was on a Singer table which I lost in storage during my divorce, but I was able to keep the machine. I had also found another W&G which I gifted to my mom for mothers day. I don't know what happened to it after her passing since my sisters always got to things first as my parents passed.
I had taken my machine to a shop(now closed) when I first got it and was told it was from the 20's. They sent me to another shop 35miles away(also now closed) where I was able to get some needles and a few bobbins, which got lost with my table. After 15yrs, I am now looking to replace my table and accessaries for my machine as it sews better than any other newer machine with the plastic parts.
Thank you for your historic video.
Looking forward to seeing a bit more of the collection, Great video!
Love your videos!
Thank you looking forward to seeing more
Can you show more video how to use their accessories Please
Do you have a video on the Jones serpentine?
What a neat video. I am the 4th generation of James Wilcox.. I have a question for you. When did they sell the company? I also learned about James Wilcox a few years ago. My grandmother never told us about her great great grandfather. I like the explanation of the shape.
I have a quick question about Wilcox and Gibbs the round part I keep breaking my thread the round part where it says do not oil my understanding is you have to take the whole machine apart to adjust that and can you adjust it just by wiggling the top the round part I'm not going to oil it don't worry but my question was can you without taking it apart adjust it please and thank you for your time
Hi Doris you wait till you start sewing on your W&G's you will fall in love with it. Alex
Hi Alex
You have opened a new world for me.
I am South African and have been living in the UK for 15 years.
I have been sewing for 64 years and my first machine at the age of ten was a singer, loved it.
Moved onto Swiss made machines, because in SA we didn't have this heritage.
Would love to see more informative programs on TV instead of these everlasting cooking programmes.
Thank you.
Anita

HI! I just bought a W&G machine! YAY! I am having a hard time dating the machine. Do you have any recommendations? It has a double need and the spool pin is is way different.

Hola buen día tengo una máquina de coser de ELÍAS HOWE ANTIGUA y me gustaría saber si es posible que envíen fotos para su venta.. CONTACTEME
My gg grandfather was Wilcox.
Lastima no saber inglés, no puedo entenderle, un saludo
Ha, if I designed this and Wilcox had to have his name on first, I would def design in my Initial, brilliant and funny!!!!
Hi Alex,
Please could you tell me of a similar machine to the Snier I just bought. It came without a manual, is in lovely condition and I need to get full use out of it. The knobs are, bottom left: tension regulator, top left: choose stitch (straight, zigzag, etc.). To the right of the choose stitch are stretch stitches. Top right, buttonhole width, beneath it stitch length. The Sneir has 2 cotton holders. Sorry, I don’t know the names for things although from my great-gran down to mum they made a living sewing. I now need to use whatever I’ve learned by osmosis + what I learned at convent to earn my own. I’m in South Africa, so very far away : )
i have a machine. A330447
