Well I got my White Rotary treadle going. Thanks to NanaCsew2. My next question is what type of needle is used for this machine. A 15 x 1 ? The manual does not say. It only says to use FR needles only. Do they make those anymore, or is there a substitue? The needle that is in there now is a # 1/2 if that is of any help. Also is there a special place to order extra bobbins for this old machine? According to the manual, the bobbin is a # 744. If anyone knows anything about this 1917 White Rotary, I'd sure appreciate the information.
This sure is a fun sight to read. I've learned a lot already I never knew before.
Thank You, Claudia
