I used a regular ruler with 16th mark. I do not have a micrometer. but I did take pics. lets see if I can load them.

Unfortunately, since yours has that lever that closes over the bobbin, the taller one won't work. I've been doing some search, and I did find a machine very similar to yours, but the decals are different. I've ask for some pictures to see if it's the same model, I think it may be, just made before Osann took over. I love the rotaries, and if it is like yours, I plan on buying it, then I'll be able to figure out exactly what bobbins in takes.

In the mean time, can you compare the diameter with other bobbins you have and let me know how it compares? I've got ones for many of the US made machine of this time frame, so that would help me determine what it is. I know this may seem strange - but check out this post and you'll see why I'm "into" figuring this out. I've obtained a few more since I posted this. Hmmm- gonna go check the New Home Rotary (pre Free Westinghouse) I read somewhere it may have been made by Standard . . .

I really wish folks would quit posting about machines I didn't now existed that I find I can't live without . . . and your friends think YOU need an intervention. My coworkers have been threatening that for some time, I think the only thing stopping them is that I'm their boss LOL!!

BINGO - I have a match. The bobbin in the New Home is the same measurements as you gave. However the case does not have the latch like yours does. It's significantly larger then the SH bobbin. The FW bobbin does fit, however it's not as tall so I don't know if that would cause problems, but you could put a washer behind it if needed. The best fit is the White - it's a hair wider in diameter, but it does fit in the case. It is closer in height.

It all depends on if the latch will close using one of these two.

I don't know much about bobbin washers, other than the folks on the long arm board I visit often use them to get a better fit for the bobbins when they buy pre-wound ones.

First time I heard "bobbin washer" I was thinking "golf ball washer" and wondering just why they needed to wash their bobbins . . .

diamondee

speaking of bobbins . . . test your knowledge

I am very impressed, Don't know how you figure it all out. I do have some AFTER market featherweight bobbins I will try and let you know how it works. Fingers Crossed.

I'm hoping someone here that has a Standard R35 could tell me what the serial number of their machine is. Or, if you know someone with an R35 who isn't here, could you ask that person and let me know? I would so appreciate that.
I only knew of the R35 because I happened to find an instruction manual.
The only photo of the actual sewing machine I've found is the one here from 2014. It is a nice photo, SO glad to have found this thread!

I have a Standard Rotary serial number 1581692 that I believe came before the Standard R35 , and I'm hoping the serial number of one or more R35s might help confirm that, or prove my idea wrong.

Mine doesnt seem to have a model number on it or on its manual, and there is no date on the manual either. The manual title is "Instructions for Using the Standard Rotary Hook Sewing Machine", there is an illustration of the winged bobbin, then "The Standard Sewing Machine Co. " then "Cleveland, Ohio" then "U.S.A" and over in the corner is says "Form 1335-G" . So it says nothing about the Osann Corporation. Whereas the copy of the R35 manual says on the front "The Osann Corporation Successors to the Standard Sewing Machine Co."

I've been calling mine the STandard Rotary G, even though it isn't called that in the manual, because that term does appear on one or two aftermarket parts suppliers , I think a Boye needle list and the Barker (?) bobbin page.

My machine looks more similar to the R35 in body shape and faceplate than the earlier stout body shape, and mine seems to have the same bobbin and bobbin case as the R35, but the R35 has a solid balance wheel whereas mine has a spoked balance wheel.

Thanks if anyone can help!

Hello and welcome to the QuiltingBoard!

Can you post some pictures? Here are Janey's instructions for posting pictures:

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button. As shown at Standard Sewing Machine Co. Paragon

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...p-location.jpg

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?

Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos

Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.

Some additional notes -
The photos generally need to be reduced to less than 2MB in size. I have heard of people sending an email to themselves as it will ask if you want to reduce the size.

I have an android phone and when I tried to reply on Quilting Board while in mobile view None of the options for adding pictures was available. However, there is an option down at the bottom left of the page that is for Full Site when I tapped on "Full Site" It then looked like the way it looks on my lap top. So it would have the Red Reply and the Go Advanced options.

Do Not Preview post.

GinaB

Thanks for the photo attaching helpful hints! I am using the "full site" technique, attaching photos for the first attempt, so I hope it works. attached should be two photos of my Standard Rotary G, which I believe is similar to the R35 but not the same.

Hi Diamondee, I would like to ask you about your Standard R-35. The original post is quite old, are you still active on this board? Thank you! Krisi
