I've been so busy with work (teaching 4th graders) that I missed this great little thread! Now I need some suggestions. How do I go about finding an underbraider for my National VS? I love Celtic knotwork and have wanted to incorporate it into my blocks. A post elsewhere introduced me to the amazing gadget and now I WANT one!
My little Alvah may have come to me as a basket case but now it is my favorite machine to use for piecing tops and quilting them. I look forward to any suggestions folks may have.

Place an ad on Craigslist
Check out Yahoo Groups for the National VS. I am sure there is a group there. Join the group, someone may have the underbraider.

Seriously? There may be a group for National VS?!? That would be totally cool beans.
For Sale and Wanted... I kept thinking it was strictly for fabrics. I will be right on it!
I found one for my 99k Singer, on Bonanza, but the guides do not look as though they would produce the quality of many of the underbraiders I've seen. Besides, I just love the feeling of working my treadle... It becomes the Zen Zone.

During a Freecycle exchange I received a box with sewing items. Here are some attachments in the box. I know they are labeled (for the most part) Greist. But I am unsure of what type of machine takes this type of rotary slotted attachment! I'd love to figure it out because I have found an underbraider, if only I have the right type of Singer...[ATTACH=CONFIG]324744[/ATTACH]

The Griest attachments don't fit Singers. They fit Nationals and all the machines they badged, plus most other brands. However, not all the Griest fit all the machines....you have to try them out.
This might fit your National VS....you just have to try it.
