threading a white rotary machine bobbin
your tutorial was so very helpful. I just had my old white oiled and serviced and would love to use it but the only thing it is missing are the bobbin and bobbin case. I have tried several websites without any luck. Does anybody know where I can get some of these are is there anyone willing to sell me one if they have an extra?

This is very helpful for me also - I actually have a monster of a Kenmore that has bobbins like this.

Bennet,
Thank you so much for posting this series of photos, I've been threading my bobbin case wrong. I've only had the machine for 3 months and sewing with it a lot. The stitches are better now. :shock: I have a 1917 White Rotary treadle. Sharon |
BUMP - good info!
|
Thanks
Thank you I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to thread it!

I just discovered that the "new" bobbins I bought for my Franklin rotary do not have holes in them. You need to find a different way to anchor the thread to wind it. FYI bought them on E-Bay

Thanks Bennett, good tutorial. I have two White FR, a White and a Franklin and this has been a great help.

That's the way the new ones come. I took a 1/16" carbide drill bit and just drilled holes in the new ones I bought. Can't tell 'em from the originals after that.
Joe I had to call my son to come help me figure out what i was doing wrong. I just couldn't get the bobbin case placed in my singer 404. I had photos and had cleaned the darn thing but it kept locking up on me. His fresh eyes got it put in in one second. Now on to the darn tension. I think the spring (thin one) is bent wrong.
