It has taken some work just to stay up to date on here. Much less read all the pages before I joined, WOW, I might not live that long, LOL
That is what we do on this site...help each other out. Anyone could get a college degree in vintage sewing machines by reading all the postings!

It takes class 66 bobbins, available at walmart, JoAnns or anywhere sewing stuff is sold. Get the metal ones, not the plastic ones.

Valley there are lots of pages and I would hate to know I had to read them all over again! I have gone back to random page numbers just to see what was the hot topic then and I ran into a lot of neat things that I forgotten about. Lots of good photos and information indeed. I had no idea that this shop would have taken off like it has and I am really happy that everyone likes to come in and hang out with all of us!
Remember this is your shop and your always considered family and welcome anytime!!

I really would need to play with the machine to recall how the machine operates ( been a very very long time).
If one's interests are just straight stitching and piecing, the Singers work beautifully, and I'm very impressed with the Singer 201 and Singer VS2 stitching over the Necchi. Don't get me wrong, Necchi Supernovas are beautiful machines, much better than a Singer 328 which I own, but I like the stitching and how easy it is to repair a Singer.
Enjoy! Great machine! Great find!

I was able to get it smoothed out some with one of the little sanding drums on a rotary tool, but I was kind of afraid to take too much off in case I couldn't get another one. I wonder if putting a rubber band around it might help? Just kind of thinking out loud...
Thanks for all the help y'all!

I don't really name my machines, but she may be just have to be Cookie. :)

The cabinet is solid oak no veneer. Needs a good cleaning but she sews like a dream I have already tried her out.I was sewing straight lines with her and told Hubby to try her out and he sewed a circle around my lines. So he says she can sew circles around any of our other ladies.
I can't keep him away from any auction that says "old" sewing machine in cabinet.
Well here are some of her pictures before cleaning. Too darn cold right now to do that. Were out in the snow yesterday to get her. (She uses a 15X1 needle which is good) Don't know her birthday tho. :-( Need help with that.
