Me too! I'm gonna attempt similar with a free arm machine.

Just that particular designation. The 47s started in 1899 but I didn't read far enough to know when they stopped or if they still make them.

definitely. I think I need to learn more about the 47 designation and the differences between the 18xx years and the 1970's. Well aside from the motorized part. lol

Okay I'll try it too and we can compare technique. My repairs usually aren't pretty but they hold up.

Sounds like a plan, I'm going to be using a 15-91 and a *thinks* maybe.... hmm... that's a toughie. I'll definitely will be using the 15-91. With a bright red scarlet thread so ya'll can check out my mistakes. hahaha. My repairs don't hold up too well. I'll just be using a scrap piece.

I think I might use my Pacesetter since it has a smaller bed than my other free arms. It's that cylinder technique I want to try, on the butt of a pair of jean shorts.

you know what I think I'll try it on my little Elgin 4400/Domestic machine. I haven't used her in a while and she has a free arm.

Okay, here's my pic. I did it with a 1956 Brother Pacesetter free arm machine using a spring darner. I actually didn't remember I had one of these little springs. It's kind of a pain to use but it worked okay. My problem was being so close to the pocket, had go real slow and careful not to hit the pocket rivet. It's not perfect but it will do.
