Singer 221
I bought a Singer 221 at an auction.(they found it in a big crock in the basement). The box is a bit moldy but the machine looks new. The belt must have parted company many years ago. Putting on a new belt was no problem as was getting bobbins for it. The problem is that the upper thread does not go around the bobbin to pick up the lower thread. I also found a long thin spring sitting on the thread pin. Did someone take the machine apart and had parts leftover. The foot pedal doesn't even have scratch on it so I don't think it was ever used. I cannot afford to send it anywhere. Please help.
