Daggrim Report post Posted September 10, 2008 Okay, I posted recently about my Singer 59K, and since then I've gotten it sewing again. Thanks for all the help I was given! But, #69 thread was recommended, and I am not sure where to shop online. The local fabric store didn't have anything like that. I could do a google, but I'd rather get recommendations. Also...a biggie...where can I get parts for a Singer 59K? Like extra bobbins! Doug (Daggrim) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daggrim Report post Posted September 10, 2008 Oops, I meant that my Singer is a 29K, not a 59K. A 29K58. Sorry. Dag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Report post Posted September 11, 2008 Artisan for thread, I like the Linhanyl nylon in the smaller sizes. Look in the suppliers directory on leatherworker.net for suppliers.

Daggrim Report post Posted September 11, 2008 Luke, I went to a lighter, smoother thread, and loosened up the shuttle spring. Looked at the manual again, and saw things in there I'd never noticed. Adjusted the stitch length, and the foot pressure. Also, someone came over and gave me enough moral support to go thru this one more time. Gave it a good lube. Basic stuff, but it was wierd...suddenly I understood everything in the manual. I guess it just wasn't the right time before. But, stay tuned, it ain't over till it's over. Meaning I havent made a set of turnshoes on it yet. So, don't go away. Thanks for your offer of help. Doug DOUG......SO WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE 29K TO GET IT SEWING ?

TZHunter Report post Posted September 11, 2008 I get all my spares (including 69 thread) for my 29K58 from Campbell-Bosworth in Yoakum, TX I have purchased bobbins from them. They don't have all their stock on-line, so you should call them. They'll take your order over the phone and ship the same day. Really nice people. http://www.campbell-bosworth.com/ 1-800-327-9420 Hope this helps. TZHunter (Doug) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
