And thank you so much for this site. I have bookmarked it and hope I can understand them ok. Youtube is a really good resource, but it's hard to search for stuff. Just search hand quilting sometime and it'll come up with like 500 videos. It's craziness!! |
PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I have an early New Home Treadle(1880's) and can't figure out the shuttle threading process. It loads from the side and I can't find any reference to this type of shuttle. There is a hold in the side about the size that thread couldo through, but where would it go from there???? Need some direction to go!!!

The Lotus was the first decals used from 1900-1910, and then Singer switched to the Redeye decal. My two Lotus 66-1 are back mount machines which means the the side mount attachments can't be used with them. I have used my oldest, 1907, to make a complete baby quilt, from piecing to straight-stitch quilting. The machine makes a pretty stitch!

Hope you had a great time!! I did have a very good time. |

You just answered both....I do so appreciate everyone's information here. I am really a novice at this vintage machine collecting. I don't want to get one that I can't do anything with. My collection so far: Elna Supermatic, Singer 301, Singer 99k, Western Electric Rotary 1917. Hoping to add this 66-1, and I'll try to get a treadle cabinet to put it into. It's been electrified, but I would like to treadle it. The 99 I am planning to put a hand crank on in the near future. I just found some Greist top mount attachments for my Western Electric. It didn't have any when I bought it. I have to rewire that one. Again, I do so appreciate any and all information I get here. Thanks!! :thumbup: |

The case is really cool and it would be neat to have a treadle! http://rochester.craigslist.org/atq/2409565933.html |

How do I find out if they will work on my Singer 9w? I forgot to mention that I paid $30 for the machine and cabinet, it needs a belt. |
