    My bobbin winder broke off my belt guard on my featherweight. Suggestions on how to fix it. I know you can't weld it so has to be another way. Broke off flush with the machine, sitting here looking pitiful.

    Awwww! How did the bobbin winder break the belt guard? (I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for you!)

    Did you notice that the treadle wheel is on the outside of the treadle frame, very common on the #8 treadles.

    Very sad, and those were very well-built and expensive cabinets to begin with. I remember doing the inflation math on the original purchase price when I got mine. It probably held a place of high honor in someone's home at one time.
