I have a bunch of other older machines that I've been given over the years, so tomorrow I'll begin searching to see if one fits. Can't wait to play more with it! So exciting!!!<br /><br />SusanSusan @ sjsewingclass@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268816693632358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-44526664338309572812016-01-06T13:36:31.708-05:002016-01-06T13:36:31.708-05:00My 950-B is called a Universal My 950-B is called a Universal Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784168628448039432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-34918573381375289562016-01-06T13:35:24.120-05:002016-01-06T13:35:24.120-05:00My 950-B is called a Universal My 950-B is called a Universal Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784168628448039432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-52410574461241340252015-10-02T13:00:56.899-04:002015-10-02T13:00:56.899-04:00I just got a Belvedere Adler machine for free but ...I just got a Belvedere Adler machine for free but it's missing the foot pedal.

It is so cool looking, I had to have it, but at least I only spent $25 (and gas, sigh). Well, at least now I know to be on the lookout for plastic gears!

Even if I had looked inside I probably would have missed that gear.<br /><br />I recently tested the capacity of a long bobbin, and it held ALMOST as much thread as a class 15 bobbin. that was an eye-opener for me---I had thought that they would hold much less thread.DragonPoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167170431185422351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-32685249891550023482013-06-30T09:44:20.778-04:002013-06-30T09:44:20.778-04:00Great post!

I have some long bobbin machines, but, I've never sewed with any of them. Trying to wind the long bobbins just puts me off wanting to stitch with them, but, they are proudly displayed because they look so nice. That Belvidere looks so 50's cool!
