I found two websites that sell the "curly comb spines". You can get it in clear plastic. Check it out. Hope this helps.

If you didn't pay a fortune for your thimble, take a hammer and whack it so it becomes a slightly oval shape at the bottom. It will fit your finger perfect and not fall off.

Needing help getting the bobbin thread to come up from the bottom of this machine got any ideas? It's a side loading bobbin on a vintage machine. I've googled but can't find the right help.
