Re: wheeler wilson-singer adapter
Hello Cristiana,
I saw the video: congratulations,you are very good,the fishes ae very nice,and it shows that you have a lot of experience. My passion for sewing machines was born recently, and I have never sewn yet. May I ask you what kind of needles do you use on your 9W? Regards Mario |

Re: wheeler wilson-singer adapter
hi, Mario, perhaps I wrote D9 for an error, due to memory and? sleep.? ?I have only w9, I think, a treadle only,? ?in Italy is not very? common, and? three or four handcrank. the first I had casually.? ?an ebay auction.??it was cheap then,? and I? didn't know completely wheeler & wilson.? ?but soon I fell in love, and discovered? how? beautiful is embroider with her, with the hand crank too. the wheeler wilson can embroider without anything almost by itself, you just have to guide the fabric with your hands, without too many tools. it's also interesting that you don't have to pull the foot bar down, otherwise the thread will break. this is a video of mine, from a series of four. the design is nothing special, but it shows you that even the handcrank can embroider well. the pedal machine, then, is a marvel. here is the link of one of my little video,? they are four: ? arrivederci Cristiana il @^^: |

Re: wheeler wilson-singer adapter
Hi Cristiana,
I saw that in Italy the W&W's are very rare (and even rarer the Singer 9W),so I was surprised that you have both a D9 and a Singer 9W. Did I understand correctly? Do you have both machines? Anyway,I can't help you with your request,but,if I may ask you a question,I'd be curious to know if you easily find needles for your machines in Italy (127x1,or,more likely,MY1014). Greetings Mario from Rome. |

I was able to convert the cotton size in the W&W D9 manual to Singer needle size and then to metric. Jon |

If you search MY1014 on the Facebook wheeler and Wilson page, there¡¯s also a discussion about these needles. On Jan 7, 2023, at 10:06 AM, Mario <mariogoa@...> wrote: |

Re: W&W D9 Needles Replacement.
Hi Phyllis,
your positive experience with MY1014's reassures me, and comforts me about the breakage of my only 127x1 needle, which was probably as old as the machine. Congratulations on your wonderful collection, and yes, the W&W's are beautiful, well built, and in my opinion they also have more aesthetic personality than the other brands. Their cabinets was also much more refined than others.They are treasures to be preserved,and i hope that all those in circulation end up in the right hands. Here in Europe they are rare and expensive and almost all without cabinet,but I have seen that in the USA you are lucky enough to be able to get someone and at good prices. I hope to be able to acquire more over time,but now i'm delighted with my D9 and hope I can get it back in great shape. Regards Mario |

Re: W&W D9 Needles Replacement.
Your English is fine and your question is easily?understood.
My W&W sewing machines are wonderful to use. Although I have several 127x1 needles, I use MY1014 exclusively for my W&W 9s, D9s, Singer 9Ws. These MY1014? needles are stronger than the old 127x1 needles. I have a packet of DBX1 needles, but use?the?MY1014 when sewing.
I also own a a few W&W curved needle and a few W&W 8s,machines and a W&W 6, Singer 10W and Singer 12W102 industrial sewing machines. The late Graham Forsdyke believed the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the Rolls Royce of sewing machines.

Re: W&W D9 Needles Replacement.
Hi Jon,
thanks for your reply. From Schmetz website i see that there are different types of MY1014 (B,D,H,C,SES,SUK,etc.) which do not differ in needle size (Shank-?:1.48 mm,Lenght to eye:38.9mm),but in some characteristics like Stitchtype (Locstitich,Chainstitch),Point style (Medium ball,Light ball,Normal round),and size (from 60 to 100 nm), all of these are suitable for D9 or would you recommend me one particular ? Then, if I may ask you,the D9 manual lists needles size -2,3,4,5,6,7-, as far as you know, the sizes given by the manual to how many Nm correspond to today's sizes? |

Re: W&W D9 Needles Replacement.
Hi Mario,
The MY1014 needles are a good 127x1 substitute.? There are no other substitutes readily available that I'm aware of.? The DBx1 needle shank is too large to insert in the D9.? It's OK but shorter for the older 9 that used 126x1 round shanked needles and had the fold back bobbin holder.? ? Jon? |

W&W D9 Needles Replacement.
Hello, I'm from Italy so I apologize for my English.
I recently bought my first sewing machine, a D9. I like it very much,and while cleaning the needle, a 127x1, it broke in my hands. It's my first machine, I've never used one, and I didn't know the needle was so fragile. I looked for 127x1 for sale but I only found something in the United States and between shipping and taxes it would cost me too much,and anyway would not be a definitive solution,which can only be the possibility of needles of common diffusion. So i'd like to know if there is a real alternative that does not affect the proper functioning of the machine. Reading a discussion,i tought i understood that the possible alternatives would be the MY1014 and DBX1 needles, but i don't understand if these are really 100% compatible, and if these would have with a D9 the same performance as 127x1. Excluding the bar mod,has anyone extensively tested these needles on a D9 .. or found a definitive solution? Thanks Mario |

Re: Excelsior Supply Company

The 120-page catalog does not have individual machine parts. It is a product catalog with some attachments and such.? I bet the Smithsonian will publish the W&W catalog with their other copies.?? I would still be interested in finding original W&W parts lists. I recommend using the Singer 9w parts catalog for the present.? It is a difficult document because it appears to have poorly photocopied and did not make a good digital representation.? I am in the process of transcribing the Singer 9w parts list with some improvements.? I am photographing the parts and exchanging them for the 19th Century illustrations. The document will also be searchable.?? To make things worse, or better, I am adding appendix sheets that show the same parts of a different design.? I am using the same Singer numbers to make searching these parts easier.? One appendix will show the same screws and other parts on different assemblies.? I have not gone into other machines to see if the same parts were used in them but I have seen some.? Why make new parts when the older ones worked?On Tue, Nov 29, 2022 at 7:19 PM LISA A <Wiklundfamily@...> wrote:

Re: Excelsior Supply Company
Many thanks to Bill and others in regard to sharing the digital files, when available. I look forward to seeing what I can learn about my bare little model 8 that I got cheap from a charity shop. I know very little but I think it's just wonderful anyway, missing parts and all.? On Nov 29, 2022 7:08 PM, Bill Wells <ronone69@...> wrote:

Re: Excelsior Supply Company
Bill Wells
Thanks Jon.? After I posted I located a copy at a university and they are providing high resolution scans of all the pages referencing W&W machines.? The Catalog No. 35 is dated about 1905.? The president of the company, who's name is on the catalog as "manager" died in 1909.? There are other references to patents from 1905.? So, the best guess is circa 1905.? I? have also received the 120-page 1905 W&W catalog from the Smithsonian.? The people I have been working with have been super in their assistance.? Once I get the 120-page catalog cleaned up I will post it online.? On Tue, Nov 29, 2022 at 5:05 PM Jon Helig <jlhmnj@...> wrote: I have the Excelsior catalog.? In Photos the schemmatics are under "Wheeler & Wilson schematics 8, 9, D9, D12".? |
