Providence willing, I'll win it. Since I've just recently decided to learn to be a tailor, it'll enable me to make precision stitches.<br /><br />I looked at your 1940s blouse, which I thought was unusually lovely. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that sets it apart from a garment sewed on a commercial machine. What is it? A delicate elegance? I can't put it into words, but it sure does look nice.<br /><br />I look forward to your posts. You are an inspiration..Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671277664519718732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-77902897260481299982016-09-04T19:19:53.283+01:002016-09-04T19:19:53.283+01:00Congratulations on the machine!

The hand crank handle has been pinned so that it is fixed to use and so the lid does not go on.

Congratulations on your new machine!
...Hello Gina,<br /><br />Congratulations on your new machine!<br /><br />A 66 is the stretch version of the 99, so yes, the threading is the same. Singer standardised needles in the late 19th century to the flat sided needle, and since then it is the machines that have changed, not the needles. Don't worry about the brand, just make sure you put it in the right way round:-<br /><br />http://lizzielenard-vintagesewing.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/setting-needle.html<br /><br />Love, Muv<br /><br /> Muvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-5250574886171153432015-05-08T16:55:15.675+01:002015-05-08T16:55:15.675+01:00Muv,

I've enjoyed reading your blog, just a bit more to go :)<br /><br />I just bought a 66k, my first antique sw (yay! you made me do it :D) and it's on its way. Would the threading be the same as for the 99 and can I substitute any of the modern needle brands in the size indicated for the machine?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-22272252524725915612013-04-26T09:38:51.191+01:002013-04-26T09:38:51.191+01:00Hello Nankc,

Is this just lint that is packed down or is it supposed to be there for oiling like my 1914 hand crank 127?
