    Jan, that cracks me up!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
    I was 16 in 1965 and all the girls were in love with anyone with a British accent. How innocent and silly we were then---

    I was 14 that year, and yes, the Beatles had us all in a dither!! LOL :lol: :lol: I remember the first time they were on TV on Ed Sullivan...wow!![/quote]

    HHHMMMMM I'm that old, too and I remember all that ancient history stuff too. I remember all the boys changing their hair so they could make the girls scream. I also remember watching Alvin the first time, too - more old sewing machines remind me of Alvin than the Beatles - but to each his own. HHHMMMMM Maybe you are saying that machine makes you scream.

    blueberries or strawberries
    almond butter
    Quick
    add more milk or yogurt to get the amount you want
    so blend it!
    Miriam we do smoothies all the time too, but I'd have to leave out the avocado and almond butter! I use yogert, banana's (frozen), frozen stawberries, frozen blueberries, and any other frozen fruit we have. Add some 100% juice and yummy - a great dinner on hot days!

    what's there to lose - drop some in - you don't taste the avocado - DH does NOT know it goes in - he WILL NOT eat avocado - the avocado makes it VERY creamy - the almond butter gives you a bit of protein for the get go in the morning - you can do peanut butter if you like. Some times I freeze some of the smoothie and then drop it in the blender frozen when I do the next batch.

    Need some help here! I have a 457 Singer Stylist. I would love to find a Singer Professional Buttonholer attachement. The manual says the part # is 102577. I have been looking on ebay etc but no luck yet. Is there other part #'s that would work? I have a lead on one from a member of this group but not sure it will work on my machine. I have been reading about them and "they" talk about a different throat plate or slide plate. I have had them years ago for a machine made in the 60's and for one T&S bought in 74. Those did not need a different "plate".
    Any and all information would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jan on 446

    You got a good one!! I guess it depends on which Goodwill you buy from. The first machine I got was packed so poorly part of the wooden base box broke. It was a 99 in a domed wooden case, barely wrapped in bubble wrap and blue painters tape, and in a much too big box with some crumpled up newspaper thrown in. It was rattling around in there like you wouldn't believe!! Really poor packing!! I think I'm lucky it arrived in as good condition as I got it. Now I can't wait to get home to see how this one made it...it's been somewhere for 9 days, so I am kind of anxious about it! :shock:

    The bobbin shuttle is not for this machine....too long. It has tons of attachments probably not for this machine either. Patent dates on the plate say Dec 5 1882; Sept 22 1885; July 19 1887; Aug 21 1888; Jan 13, 1891.
    Here are a couple pics:
    Do you have a length I could go by? I have a couple machines with shuttles (none of them the size of the one that came in the puzzle box.
    Also, I looks to me that some of these attachments are bent. At least it looks that way to me! The puzzle box is quite a piece of workmanship! It has places to insert attachments so they stay in place. Just wish I knew what belonged to this machine and what doesn't. There are tons of machine needles...again, not sure if they fit this machine. Look pretty small in my opinion. Also there is a plate that is narrower than this machines plate. Looks like it could fit my Davis. No manual for this machine, so will be looking for one. And the tension looks incomplete also. Need pictures of this to determine for sure.I think I forgot to say earlier that my 27 dates 2-6-1905!
    Hope to find time this weekend to take a look at the 66 I have ...a 1926 date.
    Randa, you can Google the part number stamp/imprinted in each part and type singer attachments after each number and 'usually' it will tell you what it is and then which machines they will work for. Hope that works for you.
    Oh, I didn't know that!! How cool! Thank you!!

    Well that would work super if there were numbers on them. Nothing....except I found one with a patent date on it! Rats!!!

    What is "they like to be a pit* so no chance of doing anything like photos while that's going on."? Would you explain?

    Thanks,

    :) Bronwyn meant that the builders were being a PITA (Pain in the A$$) and so she couldn't get photos... ;)[/quote]


    DUH....I knew that
