I just got a new one for my 404 that was missing the bobbin cover. I was having a hard time getting it on and the new spring just didn't seem to fit. Then I discovered the old one was still there (no wonder it wouldn't fit!) and after a bit of maneuvering it went on perfectly. So now I have a spare spring.

I'd love to see pictures of BOTH of them once you get the second one. :)

One arrived today and it was locked up. I stripped it down and started tinkering, it seemed to be the bobbin area. No rust, insides are clean, what goes here. Someone had put the bobbin case back in wrong. Still got a slight problem with the tension and the spring for the bobbin cover doesn't hold it in place but it stitches just fine. Can't wait to see the second one. |
Has anyone ever heard of, or been to, a Sewing Machine Show? Kind of like a car show but for sewing machines? It would be where people could come and show off their machines and get a trophy or something like that. Or is this just a dumb idea?

I think it is a GREAT idea, would you do it online or in a physical location? I would love to be involved, volunteer or course, if you decide to do something like this. Would you tack it on as a, for lack of a better word, event at a National Quilt Show? What about National Sponsors for the prizes?

Miz. Johnny, I really don't sew much because I am always fixing machines, but I would be interested in going to a local TOGA. How do I find one in my area? I live in the Chicago suburbs. I don't know where to start. ~G~ |
LOL I could do my own show.... I have a ton right now. I've bought just about every derelict machine that has crossed my path and put them back to work and looking cheerful again.
