Sometimes on 99 conversions, I take one of the screws out of the winder and just use a light finger pressure to hold it against the wheel when I need to wind a bobbin.

Nope some of the bobbin winders do not go from a small balance wheel to a larger balance wheel. Not that simple all the time. |

I guess my worry would be the tape gooing up the wheel.

Thanks for showing that. It's always the little details I wonder about. I'm not familiar with aquarium tubing. Is it a stiffer plastic or more of a squishy, floppy plastic? Does it have much stretch to it?

Is oxygen tubing thinner than aquarium tubing?

Kathie & Nancy,
Cool looking machine. This model is the model "E". Made by the Free Sewing Machine CO. in association with Westinghouse who made the motor. It was made from the early 1940's into early 1950's. It takes the CC needle which is shorter than the 15x1. Several charts found on the internet say that the 206x13 needle is a substitute, however it does not work well. The 206x13 needle has a different timing length than the proper CC. I have a small stock of the proper needle, let me know if you need any. Cathy [QUOTE=BoJangles;497761going to try and post Kathie's new Free Westinghouse, but for some reason it doesn't want to up load to our shop! Yeah! I had to shrink it, but it finally worked![/QUOTE] |

Hahaa I have no idea. You could prolly take very very long threads of dental floss and braid them together to make a belt that would work.

Nah..they sell `em at Walmart! :D

Why not just use a treadle belt? Everyplace I've seen on the net and my LSMG sells the things.
Just wondering. I got 4 treadles and they all wear leather. Joe |
not my walmart
