Handstitched Report post Posted March 6, 2020 On my Seiko machine, theres a few bits & bobs on it that I have no idea about.And since theres no manuals available* for my machine, I can only guess. Like this metal plate, just to the left of the shuttle . It has a grub screw in the centre that needs to be loosened , and theres nothing under it. Each and every time I clean & oil my machine I remove it to clean under it. I'm guessing thats its for an attachment for a binder? or some other attachment? given the 4 threaded holes , and 1 other in the centre? * I have searched quite a bit for a manual . I only have a Consew 226 manual with limited info. Still searching. Thanks for your help HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) its a "quick change" slide plate for all kind of sewing devices / sewing guides. You find them more often on double needle machines than on single needle machine. You have no manual - look for a Singer 112w139 manual - should be a quite similar machine. Or maybe JUKI LUH-521.

Handstitched Report post Posted March 6, 2020 @Constabulary thank you so much for that So I was pointing in the right direction. That would be handy for repairing horse rugs , instead of manually fixing the bindings by hand. Yes, it is a twin needle, but never had the need to use twin needle, perhaps in the future, I have all the bits. I should just try it anyway to see if it all works . This 54 year old machine has been so reliable ( touchwood), I just don't to mess with it too much . Thanks also about the manual I 'll have a look around . Theres a few knobs on top that I have yet to learn about .But I don't dare touch them , the machine is working just fiiiine HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
