That is a cutie! Glad she was all cleaned up for you. 185 takes CLASS 66 bobbins.

(not affiliated with them...never purchased from them...only posted because it lists all the models the Class 66 bobbins can be used on)

I see that Joann's sells the plastic bobbins - I would stay with metal ones - even if you have to order them online or through ebay.

I see people selling machines craigslist and they don't even wipe the dust and dirt off them. . . and then they want LOTS of money for them. Those are the ones I pass on .

Had to play with the tension a bit and give her a good oiling.....but she sews a nice straight stitch, and runs like a champ :thumbup:

The 66's at Walmart and Joann's might work but if you get them there, keep your receipt as you might just be taking them back. I could wind a bobbin on my 1928 Singer 99 with teh Singer brand 66's at Walmart, but they didn't go around in my bobbin case smoothly. They were too tight a fit to work. I ended up ordering some from Sew Classis, and was very pleased with them as they are of a good quality.
Have fun with your machine. It's cute in the green!

Those bobbins from WM make cool ear rings when they fall apart...
