Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell

And is New Home just a National?

Thank you! That's my old guy, Dusty. 28 & still doing pretty darn good. I keep him at my friend's Thoroughbred farm, where he currently is playing "Grandpa" to the yearling fillies.

Thanks,

Posts with Kenmores in them make me want to clean sewing room #1 and get a look at mine. It was purchased in 1961 and used often until 1974, but I haven't seen it in 20 years. I used it to quilt several quilts after I bought the Elna because the Elna's feed dogs don't drop. H-m-m. If I don't show up for a few days, you'll know the fabric swallowed me up.
buslady, the bobbins at April 1930 shoppe are aftermarket, but they sew as well as the original in my 301A. $7 for 10 with no shipping.

Most of the time a FW won't sew because either the finger
of the bobbin case base isn't between the throat plate springs or the needle isn't put in correctly with the needle flat to the left or threaded incorrectly.

I just got my tenth sewing machine. For some reason I thought it was a Husky. I just took another look at it and it just says Dressmaker. I have no idea of what I have. Anyone care to take a guess. It has a round disk on it that says super cam. The disk moves and looks like something is missing. It has two dials for dec stitching. It has 54 stitches plus bh. It is a metal case and on the back there is two spool pins and a place the looks like it would hold three round bobbins. The spool on the very top has broken loose and the cords have electric tape to hold them together. The motor sounds great but the needle bar does not go up and down. If I move the balance wheel the needle bar moves freely. Kathie
Would any of you have a source for the shuttle and front slide access to the bobbin for the Domestic Fiddle Base Treddle?
