BTW- the shuttles are available for the 127 & 128, they cost from $33 to 39.50 depending on which site you order from and the shipping costs are still more. You are lucky that you have both needle plates, because they are not being made anymore. There are places that call a plate a front and it is really a back plate. I ran into that trouble myself. the bobbins for the shuttles are bring reproduced and are not really expensive.
