I just modified the one that was in the machine. I'm not so much of a purist that I'll keep something intact that only works with a rare needle. All the BCs for my 206x13 machines (3x319s, 1x320,...

No problem Sabine. Now you've told me I'm partly responsible for your buying this machine I'm feeling much better too :thumbup:

My 319 is really very quiet with its motor but everyone who's treadled one tells me how great it is. I am keen to try it out but all my treadles are either industrial or 1800s style and ol' minty...

There's a small piece of spring steel in the centre of the motor housing that will cause all sorts of problems if it's missing. Most obvious of these problems is noise, second is blades hitting...

I found a Seidel and Naumann which has identical name and font but was a VS: I think it'll be by the same manufacturer.

New Premier mother of pearl 15 clone

I picked up a MOP machine this morning. I thought it was a 15-1 but it has a lot of more modern (as in, 1900-1918) features. It's in pretty good condition but it's called a "New Premier" which is...

I bought an aluminium 201K a few weeks back from ebay (for $17). The main problem was the light. It was a Canadian model (converted to local voltage) and I couldn't find a light bulb to fit it (screw...

Totally right again Tammi. It's there, printable and will almost certainly apply to a 362. It's for a 230 and I used it for my first 260, a model I strongly suspect is identical in most ways to the...

Singer 12 feed dog height

Hi all. I went over to Amelia's place yesterday to get our MOP model 12 going. The needle went in, caught the thread and formed stitches but the fabric wouldn't move: The feed dog was too low to bite...
