He seems much better too. |

Garage saling today just because. Found a free Dressmaker with a handwheel that turns but the needle doesn't move. Asked if he'd oiled the machine and he said it sat in the garage for about 5 yrs. Any ideas on to unfreeze the needle and get her working again? Will post pics later today after the yard work and garden work. It's a potted motor. You can see the belt on the handwheel but it's covered other than that along with the motor. Thx in advance.

Congratulations Kathie on that treadle cabinet you just got back from the re-finisher guy. It looks fantastic - do you want me to post pictures for you?
Nancy[/quote] That is completly up to you. It does not matter either way to me. Kathie |

My hats off to you people who enjoy tinkering with these old machines. I am ready to pull my hair out on my 66. Hubby and I can not get the tension right. The more we fool with it the bigger the birds nest on the bottom gets. We are ready to throw in the towel and take it in to be serviced. We worked on the White today also and we could not get it to pick up the bobbin thread. I walked away from it and hubby continued working with it. He found out that you turn the balance toward the back instead of front like the Singers. It took a while to get the bobbin case threaded. I need to take some classes for dummies. :-( Kathie
