Question about an old Brother sewing machine
#1
My mother gave my college daughter her old Brother Sewing Machine to take back to school with her. I decided we better get her some bobbins and extra accessories. I called Brother and this sewing machine is over 30 years old and they don't make the bobbin for it any more or any of the accessories. Does anyone have an older Brother Pacesetter XL711S and have any of the bobbins or accessories they aren't using? My daughter is a senior at BYU Idaho and is going to take her first fun class in four years--sewing. I hate to send her with only one bobbin.

Post a picture of it - find out that class info.
I have older Brother machines - let's see what you have.

So, I like trying to track these kinds of things down...
I believe that machine takes class 15 metal bobbins - here are 2 places (there are more) that confirm this and will also sell them to you - does your bobbin look like this?

Can't locate a free manual anywhere..
Hope this helps a bit.

Again, I could be mistaken, but I think if you can determine the "shank" (high/low) on the machine, you can buy attachments that will work with it. Then they should be relatively easy to find. :)
