My only caution would be to be careful of the shuttle and needles. They may be difficult to replace. I understand some industrial needles might work with minor modification but if it is a torpedo bobbin shuttle those things wear out over time and may have to be specially machined to replace them. I do grant they are slick machine. Is this a leaf spring tension?Originally Posted by sunny
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."
