NP. have to wake up 4am as we have this filipino tradition of Early Morning mass (we call it 'SIMBANG GABI') that starts Dec 16-24. 9 days of 5am mass. after the mass we gather for some breakfast food in the hall. i used to to do this when i was a kid way back home in Manila and i am keeping the tradition that my parents taught me. though, i love reading your verses. thanks.

I just dug out a Sears 158. It has disks. OK. No problem. Dig some out wow... BUT the feet are high shank and the machine takes lows. grrrr. Real nice machine real nice set of attachments. Go figure. Now I need to see if it goes forward or just reverse... LOL

Last night I fiddled with my Singer 319 - I decided to sell it. I got it off the shelf checked it's condition and test sewed. None of my handy bobbins fit - they were just a tad too large. When a bobbin is too large there is too much drag on the bobbin case so makes too much tension or something. So I dug around in my stash and found some that fit very nicely. Then I did a google search on that machine hoping to write an ad. I kept coming up with that guy's blog that hates Singer 319s. ARGH.
While I was searching for a bobbin to fit that machine, I found a bobbin case I don't know what it goes to. At first glance I thought it might fit a 306 but NOT - neat little wire curly Q on the curve. Here is a pic maybe somebody knows what it goes to:

Bobbin Case number 541678 doesn’t fit the 306 or 319. I said it takes the same bobbin as the 306 & 319, part number 55623. The 306 & 319 take different bobbin cases.
As far as I know, the curlyQ is supposed to keep the bobbin thread positioned correctly for high speed zigzag stitching.
