Does anyone know if the rubber washer for bobbin winding on the 15-91 is still available? The one on the machine is shot, and appears to be the original. It is crumbly on the outer edge so I can't get a start on winding the bobbin. Thanks.

Soooo.... 30 minutes into my lunch, I took off to the thrift store. Took a stroll to the back section, wandered around and there it was ..on the floor.....the LITTLE BLACK CASE!!! I opened it... giggled..shut the case and started off to the cash. On my way a gentleman asked what was in the case. I proudly stated "a featherweight sewing machine" WOOHOO!! He said he had never seen anyone so happy to sew before. I love you guys and will post pix tonight...it is so cute and was only $69.99!! Those babies start at $250.00 around here!! |

I've got a few things there myself - even found a finger needle guard I was looking for to help protect my GD fingers when she's making her pillows! |

I just have to brag on my daughter's boyfriend. He got a job (that's good news unto itself) at a pawn shop.
In May I ended up giving my daughter her featherweight early (it was supposed to be for Christmas) because the boyfriend was trying to buy my daughter a sewing machine. I guess the boyfriend is now educated on featherweights because when a man came into the pawn shop this weekend wanting to pawn a featherweight, the boyfriend jumped on that right away. The pawn shop wouldn't take the machine in so the boyfriend bought it himself for $40. It's a one owner machine and has the book and all the attachments with it. I don't know if this boyfriend is husband-material or not but he just won points from me. My repair person is offering a class on how to clean and service these machines so I'm going to use the new machine in class and my daughter ends up getting her machine cleaned for free! |
Hey, guys who do vintage electrics: I need to do some rewiring because I had to remove one of the new 15-91's from a case to put it in a case (just no room!). So I need to do a bit of rewiring and was wondering if we should just use lamp cord or go online and order wire specially. I *think* I've got all the plugs and parts for that, but I am missing one long screw and tiny little washer, and I do need to order bobbin winder rings anyway..so order special cord or use lamp cord?
