    looking for needle sizes on the internet
  1. yes, there is a part number on #1..…..thread check spring was missing...…..I just made one up.......11-24 does have option to change direction across the pipe......would need to source lower dog.....upper is just tension spring...….wish it was a combo feed.
  2. yes....the 19-10 appears to do the same, sewing up the arm & zig-zag, nice! Does yours have feed dog options for sewing across the arm? trying to find out the function of #1 in pic , it has vertical movement of a 1/4". Not sure if its missing other tension management springs or clips etc. #2 is a tension spring that was missing. I Frankensteined something in its place and seems to work.Its all functional enough to take on my first large boat cover coming up.
  3. Evening Bob…..here it is.....Big zig-zag up the arm. set now to 4 per in. Needle bar was set too high. Sourcing dog attachments for across the arm. . Shuttle in fair shape. Came with 1/2 a dozen long bobbins. I modified a 211G narrow bobbin to fit in shuttle with well oil felt buffers, to keep the thread in the center. a full long bobbin tends to struggle having the thread draw across to exit the shuttle. Came with only one foot. Looks like it was repaired and modified also. I'll send another pic of other side to see the area in question. I'm brain storming traditional treadle power by using 2 other treadle bases and transverse the power to get about 8:1 ratio.
  4. Any Singer Class 11-24 's out there?.....just got one......old & BIG.....got every needle to fit....after 5 tweaks and tests....its alive!....still sourcing small stuff.....like to hear about experience in usage, accessories, set-ups .. cheers
