Miz Johnny, Billy, anyone else have an opinion? I am curious too as I was told to never use plastic bobbins in my 66! Nancy |
Find yourself a vintage bobbin, but also make sure you have the correct one for the 66.[/quote]
How do can I tell if it is a vinyage bobbin and the correct one? Kathie |

Here is the listing for it: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/art/2176327487.html Ah well... Did singer ever make reproductions of other models? Nancy |

To save.. anyhow..here is Sunday Singer. Quite a box of additions with it..loaded..and a couple books... |
