Mae arrived Friday afternoon. I was so excited when I saw the box. The seller said the bobbin thread would not pick up so that was the first thing I wanted to check on.

When I took the bobbin case out, I immediately saw the problem. They had the wrong bobbin. So I went to the sewing center (about 35 miles) and picked up 6 bobbins. Put the new one in and it picked up the bobbin thread no problem. I was doing the happy dance.

I named her Mae after my mamaw that past her love of sewing on to me. I think my first project on her will be one of Mamaw's UFO's that I inherited.

She is a beauty! I receives mine a couple weeks ago from ebay. I just love these little machines!

Yooper32 05-02-2011 03:08 AM

Congratulations, she looks to be a winner. They do take a very different bobbin than most Singers, don't they. That was the first thing I did, order bobbins. Toni only had one when she arrived.

Lucky you Angie!! She is a beauty!! Enjoy!
I just won the bid on one that will need lots of work! I haven't received it yet, hopefully this week. I already know it needs the bobbin case and the take up lever. I have located the parts, just hope that the take lever isn't going to be a problem replacing. Wish me luck!
