What do you do when the clutch knob no longer stops the handwheel when winding a bobbin. My Featherweight has done this for years. Now my 403 is starting to do it. What is the fix?
He says to remove the balance wheel and clean everything. Then oil the shaft, the stop action screw and a drop on the shaft. He says that the oil that once was there isn't any more. It is a dry balance-wheel running on a dry main-shaft causing the balance wheel to get stuck. The book explains how to go about doing all of this plus it has really clear and easy to understand drawings to help "see" what you are doing.

Here is another parlor cabinet to look at Billy. It is in Burlington, MA which wouldn't be too far from your friend in the Boston area.

I have my machine will be in the house tomorrow 2/5 and I am excited to say the least. I would like to know if you sell bobbins and needles. I will also need a belt could use your advice on where to get this or would you have any for sale.

It came! It came! My Singer 201-2 sewing machine is finally here. It's black and shiny, and weight 40 lbs, and it was all in one piece, and I got a bunch of goodies with it, and it fits in the cabnet the 15-91 Singer was in ( the one that had major electric issues but thats okay because I only paid $20 for it and I will get it fixed later), and sews PERFECT seams, and its the quiest machine I have ever heard and...................oh sorry I had to take a breath finally. Now I just need to get that free motion quilting attatchment foot and I can finally quilt all of the quilt tops that I have been making. I have four tops ready to quilt. I'm so excited. I tend to name all of sewing machines once they show me their personalitys, but DH just wants to name it "Last one", as in this is the last one I am going to buy, ever. Isn't he silly?
