where to find bobbin winding tire for Singer 15-91
I need to replace the bobbin winding tire on my Singer 15-91. I know I can find this part online. I had someone tell me that I can find this part easily at fabric stores such as Joann's. Can this part be found easily locally (in general - I know it depends on where someone lives, I am in the DFW metroplex)? Or have you found that these parts generally need to be ordered online?

If the tire needs to be replaced, does the belt normally have to be replaced at the same time? Going to have to find the belt now (on the machine). Learning all kinds of things! Which is great - wonderful to be able to do the upkeep on my machine.

In my experience the bobbin tires need replacing more often than the belts. You should be able to tell if the belt needs replacing by just looking at it. Is it fraying, disintegrating, slipping or ??

I do not know - have not looked at it (actually - don't know where it is at). I know it will be in the general vicinity of the bobbin winding tire - but was only focused on that piece, so didn't notice the belt. Out comes the manual - will be looking for that when I go home for lunch!! But the bobbin tire - disintegrating.

You're talking about for your 15-91 Dawn? There is no belt. As the others have said, you can get one from your local sewing machine place, or our own mizkaki (Cathy) will have one that she can get in the mail to you toot-sweet.

Does Cathy keep extra parts around or work on these machines?
