Also, here is a picture of the Mystery Quilt I just finished quilting! I had no idea what I was making, the only thing I chose were the colors! It is going to a daughter that has her whole house done in Americana! This was pieced with a FW in classes then sewn together with my Free treadle at home. I had to attach the binding with my pfaff 1222e because my Davis, Betty, is getting her cabinet re-finished right now!

Billy, I also need bobbins & feet for my 127 so if you have some for sale let me know too. Thank you, as I wanted to wait until I refinished the cabinet.

Is there a trick to that :roll: It also needs the post for the spool of thread....can you tell me what the model may be of this machine? I see numbers like 27 or 28 for some model numbers on the internet...but there are no model numbers on this machine. :cry:

Well, I found out that the zipper/cording foot I bought online described as for my 301 doesn't work with it!! The needle hits the foot. What could be causing that?

PS Trish, I also love your green grasshopper -- it looks so nice -- like it is just waiting for someone to sew with her!

Irishrose AND Baysidegal, I can't bring myself to part out my new 66-6, I will just have to find a foot pedal to use with it! I wish it had reverse, not new enough, then I'd put it in a treadle to use! I have enough treadles without reverse now - I don't need another one!
Mamajack3 did you get your problem with the FW not picking up the bobbin thread fixed? I'd start with changing the needle. Make sure the needle is inserted correctly (flat side to the left) and threaded correctly (right to left) too!
