Does it have something to do with sewing?

It's the machine and treadle base I posted about needing a pony express over on VSS. I've been looking for the convertible Brother cabinet for years but this will do. I have a set of Brother irons but they're broken and don't know if they can be fixed. This one is pressed steel I think.

I love my Brother. I found her at an estate sale for 25.00. Runs great and looks even better. I've heard louder zippers then this little beauty. Somehow I have lost my bobbin case ...does anyone know if it takes a regular class 15 case or do I have to order a special one for this machine? I used one from my Singer and for some reason,[ATTACH=CONFIG]599292[/ATTACH] the upper thread would not pick up the bobbin thread. I tried changing needles, re-threading and using a different bobbin...nothing works! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It should work fine with any 15 class 1o'clock bobbin case. Are you sure you have the needle in correctly and threaded the right way?

I did change the needle and the thread...I will check on the upper tension. Don't think I did that. Thnks

The upper tension shouldn't have anything to do with whether the needle picks up the bobbin thread. I meant are you sure you threaded the needle the right direction? Also, did you put the bobbin in the case with the thread coming off of it in a clockwise direction? I did that wrong on my moms Brother for years without knowing it and it didn't make a difference but usually it does.

I love the color of that blue brother. This forum is a bad place to hang out. Every time I come in here I see another machine to look for.

You shouldn't have to look too hard. Brother made many models in that blue/white color combo. I have around 40 Brother machines and several of them are this color. Here's a few -
