Thank you for clearing that up. I had not seen the test Tammy did. I am probably going to change my ways then.

Check the slot in the bobbincase closely to see if it matches width, and position of the hole in the case. Some are identical except for the hole. Some SS (straight stitch) machines bobbin cases may...

I did think about that, and just for the heck of it, I tried a standard needle. It did sew, but that diminishes the capabilities of the machine. I asked a friend that has worked on them and he agreed...

I think you did. I also noticed that the stitch length knob was different, upper tension, and the foot controller too. You may need a new spring on the bobbin winder. I also noticed that the needle...

I think this is a testament to the quality of these older machines. It was made in 1956 when pride and quality still mattered, and planned obsolescence was not heard of yet. Something else that is...

I came across this today when cleaning a Singer 15-91. It must have been etched into the part at the factory because the stamping on it was light. Interesting. Has anyone else seen this before?
