Thank you both for all your information. I feel so much better knowing I don't have to take the whole machine apart. I will go to the store and get my supplies tomorrow and then on Saturday I can start cleaning her. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again!!!! Joni Nancy |

Let us see what it looks like and maybe someone will have a helper piece. I agree about the 15 bobbin case. If you have access to another 15 you can test it out and see if a regular one will work. Good luck.

I am hoping and praying she can find that cord and the bobbin case at her house, as both are very specific to this machine and it's dead in the water without them. WHAT A BUMMER...

If the Craigslist people think no one wants them, maybe they will lower their prices. Good thought anyway.
