I don't have at the moment but the two featherweights.. I am working on finding a treadle machine! The one I posted here, I have never heard of and the lady is going to get some information from the appraiser who valued it.. he said it was an Edmond.. so I will let everyone know what comes back via email..

I was afraid of that, it has never been changed over.

You will need a step up converter or a new motor, and you will need to change the bulb out. I have a few Singer motors that are close to the correct year of the machine that are 110v of you decide to go that route.

TWO featherweights...and here I sit with none!! :cry: :cry: :cry: ~hanging head to hide a grin~

Miz Sharon....that treadle will come to you when you least expect it, and it'll be a wonderful machine that you are going to spend many happy hours with!! :)

OMG it has taken me forever to read all 121 pages, but what a treat. Thank you so much Billy.

I have a question can you put a crank on a featherweight? Have you ever seen one?

Hi Billy,

I am still corresponding with the owner of it .. she had it appraised to sell and that is the name on the Machine.. I requested she take some pictures of it in good light and any other markings so We lol You might be able to give an idea of its make ... once I have them , I will post for you to see.

Billy,

The bobbin winder on my machine, serial #AE658095, needs a screw to hold it on. What kind of screw will work? I would love to get it back on and wind some bobbins so I can sew on my machine. Also, what kind of needles do I need for it?

Miz Johnny

For those who were asking about needle sizes for the New Home/Free NLB machines (the gold colored SS rotary machines), I came across my needles today. They are sized 40F1 (New Home sizing, I think) or CC1221 (Free sizing). They are no longer available. Some folks have suggested using 206 x 13. Some say the eye is in the wrong place, and others say they work fine--so there you go!! I no longer have my New Home rotary, so can't check it out to see for sure. The 206 x 13 needles are still available.

Your machine is a Model 15 and 40000 of them were allotted on September 1 1937. The machine takes the 15x1 needles and as for the screw that holds on the bobbin winder on is proprietary to Singer. Their thread pitch is not like any other thread pitch out there.

Your going to have to find the screw that came out of it are find a parts machine or a shop that repairs machines they might have a spare laying around.

Thanks Billy. I will try to find one. If I don't I have another Singer treadle that has one. The head on that one is frozen.

Can the bobbins be wound on another machine or that bobbin winder?
