I'm certainly glad I spoke up! John -- that no.5 is fanstastic! So,
it can sew the side seam on a sleeve, but not the cuff. Usually it's
the other way, right (unless you have a 29-4 ;-), so that's pretty
cool.
And I have to confess, I can't decide which I'm more interested in:
pictures of Ozzwill's hot rod Fords, or Josh's leather chaps! :-)
Clearly we need both! Plus the results of Agatha's road trip, of
course.
Nice to hear from you all.
For my own part, as much as I love all three of my W&W machines
(numbers 9, 8, and 3, of course), I sure don't spend enough time with
them. Maybe I just need to invest in more bobbins, to reduce
the temptation of "just grab a singer 15 bobbin for the Necchi", or
"just grab a spool" for the chain stitchers, or "it's a boot patcher,
of course black thread is fine!". If I had a couple of Wheeler
bobbins in neutral thread already wound for all three machines, I'll
bet they'd get used more. Sounds like a project all in itself.
Josh -- what kind of needles did you get for your 9? As far as I recall,
the Singer 9 takes a 127x1 (or modern MY1014) just like the other #9
models.
