I'm on the new deproved format of yahoo groups, and I can't browse more than 1 page of pictures. I've tried 3 different browsers. The photos were never searchable and now, at least for me, they're not even browse-able. But, I found a picture in the needlebar archives!

D'oh! That bar across the box looks like it might be the quilting guide! It's clearer in the NB pic. It looks like it's got a little metal tab that holds it in place.

That would be neat! Here's a picture that shows the anatomy of the "heavy" feet, and also a close up of the quilting foot. (They have a question mark regarding its function.) You can see a hole for the guide bar.
http://www.needlebar.org/cm/displayi..._display_media Edit: There was another auction by the same seller, with parts not original to the box, and there was a quilting bar in there, so that could also be it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Sewi...-/171141537173 |
Sheila - guess who bought that second one also . . . I had not realized they were the same seller until after the auctions were over.
The Needlebar photo does not have the two screwdrivers in plate - they fit over raised areas in the lining. I've been going after sets with different attachment types - I've got about 11 of them already - and keep finding something I've never seen before. At least having SMAD isn't that expensive - most I get for under $10. I'd be running out of room but I talked DH into taking out the dining room table and setting up my quilt frame there, so that is going to open up a lot of room upstairs in the "sewing" room. That room has a sloped ceiling, and I had one to many thread issues with the machine all the way back and in the middle of the frame - with no way more me to easily get back to turn the flywheel by hand. The Great Sewing Machine Search starts in a few days, so I'll have to wait until I'm home before I get to play with these new toys. |

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Sewi...-/171141537173 http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect...ges/image6.htm Top Left corner Or this one: http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect...ges/image5.htm #83 I can photograph them tomorrow (later today) with their original boxes if anyone wants to see them. One is from a puzzle box and the other is a metal tin. |
Tammi,
The flange hemmers in your tin box -- do they attach to the bed? Macy, Do you now have to find machines that go with the attachments? ;) Good luck on the Great Search. |
