Is there such a thing as a Singer 66 seam guide?
I am sewing with my 66 electric and need a seam guide, but the one that came with my FW and the 201 don't work with it, unless I am doing something wrong. Do any of you have any photos and numbers for parts that would work?

The seam guides I have don't seem to screw into the 66 bed holes... They should? Maybe the holes are filled with gunk and I just nee to clean them out, although I can't se into them to tell, of course. I'll go work on that.

Hmmm... Thanks, Joe! I have one of those and couldn't get it to screw in. The holes must be filled with gunk-- I'll go work on that. I appreciate the picture and know that one will work on all Singers.

The bed mounted ones come in a variety of shapes and sizes. I have a bunch of different ones.
The best ones are the ones made by Singer and those made with good springy steel. Some are stamped metal and some are made from soft metal and those are easily bent.
The holes in the bed are often clogged with paint, oil, or shellac if they have never been used. I've run into several of them.

I was wondering about glueing a bit of felt onto the end of the guide where it hits the machine. And a magnetic business card is interesting, I will have to look for one. I know I don't want to use tape after the fight to remove tape residue from some of my machines. Does the painter's tape release easy enough to not damage the finish?
