Tammi,
How heavy should the spool pin weight be? I've got several machines that could use some thread retardation <- I just made that word up :) . And I also put my finger on the thread spool when I wind bobbins. It does make them wind better. Joe |
I'm not truly sure. I've seen people use quarters, loonies (sorry, that's a canuck term, I don't know if you have a coin of a similar weight), washers, etc. I would say til it stops being bad. ;)
ETA: OK,.. this link may help. I knew we discussed it at some point: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...s-t202648.html |
Wow. Those are beautiful machines. I was fortunate to find a 401A at a thrift store in the cabinet with manual and all attachments and cams for 45 dollars. It is so clean it looks like it has hardly been used.

I have the 401A. Was my first anniversary gift in 1956. Is really a work horse.......I have two other machines, but I always go to this machine for my quilt block piecing................
