They didn't have a rubber replacement wheel for the bobbin filler on my machine listed. I'll call tomorrow. If they don't have one, where do I look next? Mine is very dry and is going to crumble. |

Sorry Tomilu, but that's not a Red eye, its 127 with Sphinx decals. The red eye decals only came on the model 66.[/quote]
This treadle is already gone!!![/quote] Thanks, I guess I didn't see that very well. Not surprised it is already gone. |

Then went through holes four time or until unable to get needle through holes. I then did three double half hitch knots. A bit over kill in the half hitches, but I wanted it to be even on that side. How to make a half hitch: http://www.cptdave.com/double-half-hitch.html The dental floss is so much easier to work with than that staple thingy. |

Here a a few more from last weekends trip. I know we like pictures, but don't want to overload either. By the way, 4 machines were $90 total and the 404 was given to me by my sister.

Thank you, Featherweight. The nearest JoAnn's is 50 miles, but I have a Dr appointment in Traverse City Friday, so I can get it then. There's a FW dealer in Reed CIty which is 30 miles in the other direction. He should have one, too.
Granmother23, That 404 is a good looking machine. |
