Bobbin winder rubber alternative ideas???
RE: Singer model 66 treadle
It's Sat night, I have a quilt I have to work on and my bobbin winder rubber just disintegrated while I was winding up a bobbin. Does anyone know if a fat o ring would work for now, if so what size. Or any other ideas I could try. The only sewing machine store around closed for a week, but we do have a Home Depot.
I'll try all suggestions.
Thanks

Hobby Lobby has a belt/bobbin winder package. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/...-belts-304584/
Not that it will help you on a Sunday. Maybe Joann's has them too? You can order them from Sew Classic too. Or try a lego tire?

Use a rubber band or two wrapped around the rim where the bobbin winding tire used to be. You will probably have to hold the mechanism against the hand wheel for it to make contact but all you want to do is create enough friction for the bobbin to spin so it will fill. You don't need it to be as large as the bobbin winding tire but you want enough rubber band on the rim so it doesn't scratch your machine. Hope this helps.
