The green case is the button hole maker and the cams you put into the buttonholer.

I thought it was some type of cams but wasn't sure what machine they are for or exactly what they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The plastic case is the buttonholer with the cams for making different size bottonholes. |

Apparently I got the cams without the buttonholer, but some attachments. |
(OK! File this under Dumb Questions!) Those of you who use hand cranks... do you crank the whole time? Or crank and "coast"? I can't figure out how to maintain control of the fabric with both hands AND power the machine!

I have a Singer model 27 (H172728). I was cleaning it, thanks for the tutes Billy, and I think I'm missing something on the tensioner. I don't know much at all about sewing machines but the manual I downloaded showed a hook like thingy on the tensioner that the thread is supposed to go through but I dont have one of those. It looks like the "hook thingy" is part of the spring (not the thick one you can easily see but the other one), but mine doesn't have the "hook thingy". I posted a picture, I hope I'm making sense... lol.
Thanks - Dana[/quote] You are missing the check spring, Dana I have some 27 parts, I will look and see if I have one. |
