Well, Glen you are right. I took off the clamp and that bar is visibly cocked - the clamp screw is forward - it fits in a hole so I'm sure it is off. I could not find an adjustment screw at all. I should not fix this tonight. The only tool I can think of is a hammer. I so do not want a parts machine. NOT TWO IN ONE DAY. There has to be some kind of adjustment for that shaft.

Miriam please no hammer. Post a pic for tomorrow so I can see the needle bar scince this is a clone it may not have an adjustment that can be seen visible. I have one other solution but want to see a pic first before I tell you. Not a secret but don't want you try it until I see it first.

No. Shuttles are not interchangeable between different kinds of machines. What fits a Singer 27 will fit other Singer 27's and 127's, and most likely will also fit the 28 and 128. They will not fit your Domestic tho.
You might try it, keeping the slide open so you can watch what's happening, and ONLY TURN THE HANDWHEEL WITH YOUR HAND...if you try to treadle with the slide open you can damage your machine.
Some races (where the shuttle fits in) are shaped differently...the Singer shuttles have a little notch in them that is needed to fit down into the race properly. I have a couple of machines that have shuttles, but the shuttles don't have notches. Different shuttles are different lengths too.
What machine are you looking for a shuttle for?

Hey Charlee have you sewed with VF yet? How does it sew
It's fun Glenn! I need to run it some more on muslin...the spousal unit kinda sorta over oiled and it's still pretty messy at the moment..that's on my to-do list for tomorrow. :)
I really want to use it to quilt...I think it would be a great straight line quilter! :)

Thank you!
By the way, I stopped at a local Goodwill and was stunned to see a treadle! I went home to tell my sister about it and she asked what I was waiting for. We went back pretty quick, but it had already been claimed! :thumbdown:

Oh, forgot to answer your needle question, the Family Rotary machines take regular old 15x1 needles. I'm pretty sure I've seen the manual for them online too. Somehow I've ended up with 3 FRs hanging around wanting me to work on them. Found out tons of stuff here: http://community.webshots.com/user/arachnesobsession[/quote]

Here's another question. I'm trying to identify a Singer they think is a 99. They told me the serial number is AC058620. Looking at the ISMACs list, I see AC, but the first number is,of course, 1! Can anyone help me with that?
I think I remember seeing a 66 and 99 can go either tredle or turned into a handcrank?
