redmadder,
Try Glenn Williams @ { http://pages.suddenlink.net/joyof301s/glenn.htm }. When I needed an unobtainium spring for a FW needle plate he was able to sell me one.

Thanks ya'll. I'm hoping he has the part, she doesn't care how long I take to fix it.

I know I've come to the right place & if there's an answer to my problem you'll be able to tell me if there's a solution. I've been reconditioning a 1908 Singer 27 treadle serial #D379918. I need a bobbin winder spring for it, (#8260 is what I've figured I need). I checked with Jenny @ Sew-Classic & they can't get me one new or used. Is there something I could substitute for it?

Thanks for the info. I tried Ebay & bonanza.com bu found nothing there. The bonanza site was a new one for me & I'm saving it for my other machine for parts & will ck back occasionally. I wonder how the Amish find parts for their treadles? Does anyone out there know?

So, I have a question. I'm a serging newb and am reading about the machine I just purchased:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]498693[/ATTACH]
This is the Pfaff Coverlock 4862. I've read online that it does 5-thread coverstitching but the manual makes no mention of anything with 5 threads. It does do 4-thread coverstitching and 3-thread overlocking with a 2-thread overedge. So I'm wondering if they're getting the 5-thread program from the 3+2. Often these machines will thread the fifth thread through the side on the left.
Anyone familiar with these? A 4-thread is fine but a 5-thread is better (more secure). This machine does NOT do a 5-thread safety. It does 13 stitch programs in all.
Thanks in advance for any help!
