I'm missing the post that goes in that corner but across the top and over works just as well. But it reminded me of a tip from my sewing machine guy, Rather than just under the bobbin thread guide, don't just wind the thread under and up in a L shape, run the thread across the bobbin thread guide, under and back up the other side. The bobbin winds a lot more evenly, on mine anyway.<br /><br />I've been cleaning up, not much to do in that department except old scotch tape glue. It is all oiled, hooray, the motor never needs owner lubing. I know that is what is wrong with my featherweight but I just don't want to start messing with it, because I don't care for the machine, cute as it is.Sharyn Mallow Woerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776056375534578046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-56922931003528061562014-06-02T16:15:13.851-04:002014-06-02T16:15:13.851-04:00I like the bigger feathers.

Did Sally get her mail from the boys?<br />Can't believe we got the same machine the same day. The seller hasn't written back to my query about the history, so in typical hairdresser fashion, I'll make it up :)Sharyn Mallow Woerzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776056375534578046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-76632024883395691982014-06-02T15:47:37.465-04:002014-06-02T15:47:37.465-04:00Great buy on the sewing machine!

Now it is too hot here to do it.
