...Thank you so much, I'll bookmark that link. <br /><br />I'm delighted that the feet are interchangeable, because my 15 came with several feet.<br /><br />It's so nice that I can turn to you with these questions, so I can rest assured that my machines are treated properly when I use them.

Thank goodness I have no stuck screws at the moment, :-)). In dutch kerosene would be airplane fuel, and paraffin something medical. <br /><br />By the way Muv, I read the advice regarding stitching in the ditch over at Gavin's blog (Oil and Thread). Would it be alfight to use a hinged foot on my Singer 127? The regular foot my 127 came with is not hinged, see, so I never tried any of my hinged feet on it. <br /><br />love,<br /><br />MarianneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260517203708400505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-71534868532103768432013-05-08T16:23:17.525+01:002013-05-08T16:23:17.525+01:00Muv I so appreciate your tips but was scratching m...Muv I so appreciate your tips but was scratching my head over using paraffin to loosen old solidified oil. I was puzzled over the description of spooning it onto the cloth. Then it dawned on me that UK and US often have different names for the same item. Fortunately for me I found a website that has a list of these differences. I was relieved to learn that UK paraffin translates to US kerosene. At that moment I chuckled and fully understood your instructions. Thank you again for your helpful instructions and videos.Sue in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943516029419494307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-32770328943657784312013-05-08T16:03:17.062+01:002013-05-08T16:03:17.062+01:00That was clever!
