That's a great idea! I'll get on that ASAP!
Thank you!!!!!

You were right, it worked! Thank you so much!

Sorry, It's an hour drive for me in just one direction. Maybe there is someone else on this board interested.

If you are smart enough to follow directions to make a quilt - you can do this! Read through the whole thing. There are slide plates out there - Billy probably has one in his stash.

Can anyone recomend sites? The bobbin plates are easy to find. Google for a Singer Model 66 or Singer Model 99 bobbin slide plate. E-bay has them, so does Billy on this board.

The stamp on the machine is 0267821

Thanks

Ginger, can you look at that serial number again. It should start with a letter. The serial number you are giving is for an 1873 machine. That is a Model 66 Redeye, which they didn't start making until 1902. Being that it is electric, it is either a 1920's 1930's model or it was originally a treadle that had a motor added later? Again, the first digit of your serial number should be a letter. The bobbin slide plate is easy to find. You can do a search for a Singer Model 66 or a Singer Model 99 bobbin slide plate. They both work on that machine. Billy who runs this board also sells the slide plates.
