Members Geneva Posted September 25, 2013 Members Report Posted September 25, 2013 The older machines are cast iron. They are definitely the better machine. Your machine likes the polyester thread better than the nylon or at least mine did. The 7x3 (canvas point) or 4 (leather point) needle in the 20 to 25 size will work too. Yes wrap the thread around the tension disc 1 and 1/2 times before going to the spring take up. Your machine will function much better if you have it bolted to a solid foundation or the horse that it is sold with. Pull the handle like you mean it don't be lackadaisical pulling the handle. Matchlock is correct about the lube pot don't get one. Good luck Quote
