Nancy Actually, I need to finish cleaning the machine, before I play too much with stitching, but I couldn't help myself, and last nite managed to get a few tiny stitches out of her before the thread broke! |

Thanks for the information on the no. 66 bobbins for the older machines. My hubby thought that one might just file down the new ones and make them work, but I don't want to mess up my wonderful 99 with trying them. It's not worth it. I'll gladly pay the dollar each for the bobbins from now on. How many do I need, anyway? I have 5 of the new ones and one old one that came in the machine. Should I go and buy more, 'just in case'?
Another dumb question. My 99 has a knob that makes the stitch length longer and shorter. Now which way do I need to turn it to make it longer? Anyone know? And how far to make much of a difference in the stitch length? There are no numbers on either it nor on the tension, but on the tension I never know which way to turn it to make it work right, but have gotten it adjusted so it is right at the moment, so won't fiddle with that until I need to. Thanks for the help. |

Hi all! I need help! I just bought a Kenmore 158.19461. It's a free arm machine without it's bed. Do any of you know where I might find this piece? Also it's a zig zag machine that won't zig zag. I've cleaned and oiled what I can get to and it didn't help. Any advice?

miriam, on the Spartan, can you just loosen the pressure on the presser foot to FMQ? With my 301, I do not drop the feed dogs. It seems to work better with them slightly up.
