We are having a quilt show here in town in 2 weeks, one of our vendors is called Feathers and Cranks, she sells very pricey fully restored featherweights and hand cranks. I don't have her info here, but I will check w/her to see if she has any spares, if so I'll post her info for your.

LOL I just searched my junk box for a key like that to no avail so far - DH interrupted to go to Lowes I should shoot some pics and make a post of antique attachments - I honestly don't know what I have. There are some things down there that aren't on the grid.

Monica, love the fiddle base! Is that a VS 2? I can't tell by the picture!

Nancy
Yes, It is a Singer VS2. I have read posts from folks that have called it a fiddle head and others call it a fiddle base. What is the correct term?

When I got my Red Eye I was in the middle of something and did not pay to much attention to it other than to notice that she was very clean. I pulled her out yesterday to show her off and notice there was not bobbin winder on her. Does any one have a Bobbin winder for sale for Miss Carol? Kathie

Please ignore this message. Hubby just called me in to the room with the Red Eye and showed me that he put on a bobbin winder for me. I did not know that we had an extra one. :oops: Kathie
