I just won an ebay auction for these Kenmore-Greist rotary attachments. I really didn't need the attachments since I have most of them already, but I really did need the 36 page instruction book.
Here's what it is.
Vintage Kenmore-Greist Sewing Attachment Feet and Instructions
Lot consists of:
Greist ruffler
Quilting bar
Quilting foot

The seller is relatively close and so I should have these pretty quickly. I can't wait to try the ruffler.

Oh my gosh - that instruction book looks just like the one for my Mom's sewing machine! I think my sister has that machine now - but she did have the ruffler attachment and also the buttonholer. It really made nice buttonholes, much better than my zigzag machine does under my guidance.
Thanks for visiting!
I can't wait to get it. I'm sure I'll be ruffling everything under the sun for a while.
The local thrift store has a couple of buttonholers and at $1 I think I might have to have one or both.
Hi. I found a PDF file of it from the Smithsonian Museum of all places.

I ended up with almost 3 sets from ebay and charity shop finds. The attachments are great for the fancy work I have been doing on some doll clothing.
Aunt Jo;
I was led to your blog in my search to identify a Greist Kenmore attachment that my wife found in the seat of a sewing table we picked up. We're going to sell it and the Kenmore Model 120 but for the life of me I can't identify what the Greist item is but I'm pretty sure it's not a buttonholer. Since you're a collector, I figured you might know. There's a picture of it at http://i27.tinypic.com/2hq5hc2.jpg
Thanks for your help! If you can email me back the answer at james654.tpk AT xoxy.net, my wife and I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
James
Aunt Jo,
I noticed in your picture that you've got the attachments with the fork like prings that are flat at the back. How do you attach them to the machine? I bought several for a sewing group for refugee women, and some of the attacyhments work with a straight low shank machinem but there are other attachments with the two prongs in the back that I can't figure out how they fit. I'm interested in hearing how they fit or if there's some kind of piece I'm missing.
Thanks.
