Thank you Steve. I've just found this thread from last year about your machine which is very helpful http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...5-t223051.html

I have a machine that looks very similar, it is a Frister Rossmann made in Germany and sold in England.
I am having a problem with mine. I hope some one on this forum can help.

The thread doesn't want to go around the shuttle. It gets hung up at the end. It is almost as if the shuttle is too long and fits too tight to let the thread pass. Also it uses a smaller in diameter pencil bobbin with a hole in the end like a notch to secure it when winding. The bobbins I got from Sew-Classic won't fit.

Thanks.

I just went to look at it, I agree with everyone else. Did you get it because it says sold.

Open a separate thread (so we do not hijack this one) and I'll see if I can help.
