So today we popped in and picked up the spring. The big one in the pic below. This holds up the hinged metal plate to the right of the machine. For some reason someone removed the spring from my cabinet. No idea why.

While there I got a good screw for the feed dogs on my 99K I'm working on. The old screw just shrunk. Yes I know that's not possible but it was tight when I took the part off, but when I put it back in it simply would not hold.

I picked up a couple fish eye lenses for the lights in a couple of my Singer 66s. That was a surprise.

Then I saw a couple boxes of attachments. Started poking through them. I found an underbraider and three darning or embroidery springs with an instruction sheet. The instructions looked familiar and when I got home I dug out our box of accessories. There was the box, the other instructions, the little ring and the button hole guide. So I was able to replace the missing springs in the kit.

Now I have to find Muv's video for the underbraider.

So it was a good day for goodies and gadgets.

Jacquie what machine do you need an underbraider for? I have a couple of extras that fit low shank machines. Let me know. We can work something out.

Great little haul! With instructions too! Let us know when you try them out.

One of my best finds was a hopping foot - I am getting great use out it now.

I have an underbraider and other items that fit my National Reversew's plates. Of course, it is the worst stitching of ALL of my machines! If only I could find someone to trade with, then the fun could begin!!
