Members FloridaLeatherGirl Posted October 17, 2022 Members Report Posted October 17, 2022 I searched. Any links I found were old and stale. i need bobbins and help with the needle size for this machine for a friend. we are located in the US, if that helps. she got this machine for $200!!!!! But no bobbins, or needles. No manual. I am having NO luck. I did find large bobbins (?) but thos one takes bobbins almost the size of my china leather shoe patcher!! Pretty sure they aint large Can anyone lend an ol girl a hand here please?! Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 17, 2022 Moderator Report Posted October 17, 2022 This is a small bobbin patcher. It uses the exact same shuttle and bobbins as the 29k71 and all models except for the large bobbin models (29k72, 29k172). In reality, you can buy bobbins and shuttles for the 29-4 and they should fit this machine. All over eBay. Or, call Bob Kovar, at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines, for bobbins, shuttles, needles and other parts. He is an advertiser here, on top of each page. The needles are system 29x3 round point and 29x4 leather point. They are equivalent to system 135x16 and 135x17 walking foot needles. They are also known as system 332. Sold almost everywhere industrial needles are sold. Quote
