I hate to sound totally dumb here, but what is different that makes it "transverse"? I don't have any idea what that means, really..............I did find some needles on line that "say" they are the 12x1 ....guess I will find that out, whenever I can get it going........it is pretty and its a really nice cabinet too..............
.I have a foot pedal that is from 1904 and I have had fun sewing on it.......it there something different between a tredle (sp??) and a shuttle machine or is that just another name for the pedal ones?.i have a lot to learn....I have the bullet bobbins on that one from 1904 and the one from 1919...wish the sidewinder bobbin winder would work for those too........... |

Treadle is what you think of as a pedal and is how the machine is powered. Shuttle refers to the bobbin carrier, nothing to do with the method of powering the machine. You really need Google: Ask it anything like this and you'll have a library within seconds. |
"Bullet Bobbins" are shuttle's...... the Bullet is the shuttle, te long round thing the thread winds around is the bobbin,
VS is and abbreviation of "Vibrating Shuttle" the "standard" VS machine swings the shuttle front to back ( front being where you sit, back being the side towards wall .... Transverse machine the Shuttle goes left to right ( end where the hand wheel is being right, and end where the needle is being left ) |

Found this in a local antique shop. I won't be buying it unless the price comes down a bit. The machine has the same name as my large munsterlander Freyja.

I love looking at everyones sewing machines. They are all so gorgeous. We are pretty lucky to be able to own more than one of these beauties. I sometimes wonder how a woman, back then, when these were new, could only choose one machine because they were all so pretty.
Here are a few of mine. These are the machines that are close by so that I could take pics of them. This is a Singer 128~serial # 10886656~date-1892. This uses a vibrating shuttle rather for a bobbin. I am in the process of cleaning it so some of the pieces are off of it, right now. I bought this machine in a local thrift shop. I don't know what the decals are called but they sure are pretty. [ATTACH=CONFIG]212695[/ATTACH] This is my little white FW-221. It arrived yesterday with it's spool pin snapped off :-(, but it came with the cutest little oil can! . I don't know the year it was manufactured but it was probably mid 1960's. [ATTACH=CONFIG]212696[/ATTACH] This is a Singer model 66 with the 'Red Eye' or 'Red Head' decals. Serial # G6969592~manufactured in 1919. I have several red eyes and it was my first vintage machine and started the ball rolling for me! [ATTACH=CONFIG]212697[/ATTACH] |
Sheilz, Your Singer 128, White FW and your Singer 66 Red Eye are absolutely beautiful. As far as the spool pin is concerned, Sew Classic has them for an inexpensive price, available online at sew_classic.com! I think you'd be able to get them very reasonable (about $ .65 each) plus shipping, etc. That's a good price! They're tap-in! The decals on your 128 and 66 are absolutely pristine! Wonderful!

Here is the machine I just brought home last night for $50. It is in pristine condition, oiled, lubed and ready to sew. And, not a scratch on it. I am tickled pink! It is a Kenmore 158-10301 manufactured in 1970-1971. I love it.
