Bobbins to fit pearson #6 shuttle

[T Moore Medicine Hat Saddlery]

Does anyone have a source for bobbins that will fit an original Pearson #6 shuttle. I have a new shuttle and bobbins but the bobbins won't interchange. Any ideas?

Hi;

Have you tried Aaron Martin harness in Ontario, Canada.  I got needles, bobbins and a foot from them for my 6.  Not cheap but what can you do when they are the only supplier.

Good luck,  Leo

I have had them made by a machinist in calgary. Took them a sample and they copied....  But i might of gotten some off aaron martin in the past as well....

 

 Where did you get shuttle and bobbins from?

I have heard the Aaron Martin bobbins only fit their new shuttles but not the original shuttles...

Here is a link to Henry Veenhoven on LWN. You can also contact him through his website.

how much shorter are they (or too long)? If too short is there probably the spring loaded piece missing that is holding the bobbin in place? Always good to see some pictures.

Regarding your stitch length adjuster I´d also post some good detailed pictures of your machine in the other thread - maybe someone else can see what is wrong. Pictures tell more than 1000 words.

The ones I got were slightly too long. Very close but slightly lon . I bought a new shuttle also so it's really not a problem. I am buying more bobbins to help speed up sewing by not having to wind bobbins all the time
