Joe, sometimes you can find rotary attachments that have bobbins in with them. I tried to search for some on ebay and couldn't find any with bobbins in them, at least not for this machine. I did find some attachments that I believe will work for your (sister's) machine at
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-vint...oAAOSwyEJe52xc They don't show the bottom, where I think is what models it would be for is shown. Sometimes those, too, are hard to read and usually stamped in red ink (at least in my experience).
Yes, that machine takes CC1221 needles. There are some original needles size 16 for NHR at
https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Free-West...AAAOSwKfZd8fMZ Of course, you can alter a 15x1 as indicated in one of my previous posts. Also I think there are videos about doing that. I have read mixed reviews about using 206x13 for the CC1221 needle
I don't know if you have a Featherweight or at least any bobbins for one, but I think it will fit. I don't know if it will work on the bobbin winder or not. There is a picture of the bobbin cases of a White and a Free Westinghouse/New Home at
I've found some random things I can't match with their machines. Can anyone help me? The manual I have for the NHR shows a bobbin much like the Featherweight bobbin. I have a Junker & Ruh Model R that takes bobbins like a Wheeler & Wilson bobbin that doesn't have a bobbin winder. I wound the one bobbin I have with a Simplicity Sidewinder and have taken a few stitches with it.
Those have weird bobbin cases but with the 'finger' on the top, it is kind of hard not to at least get it oriented correctly. However, it might be a little trickier to get it situated correctly.
