Paul, thank you for sharing that. So sorry to hear of his passing. Great loss for our community. Lisa

Bill Wells was a valuable contributor to this list, and will be missed. I got the following note last night from his son, Scott. I smiled to see Bill's obituary photo, posed with two No.9-class

Hi all, I’m joining you from Texas. Winters down here are much more tolerable than those I grew up with in Minnesota. Anyway, a long unlikely path of multiple factors has brought me here… from

Thank you. The information is helpful. It’s exciting following the leads and learning about this beautiful machine. Linda

Linda, Here are three links that have information relevant to what you are looking for. Unfortunately, they provide more questions than answers but that is history and we can’t change it. I to

The 9w serials came after the purchase of W&W in 1905.? Since your bobbin has 8 (presuming) holes in it you have a fully "singerized" 9w.? The first were the W&W stock on hand so Singer made some

Hello all, I'm new to the group. I just purchased a Singer 9W Treadle. It's serial number is W60188. It's bobbin has holes all around. I'm interested in learning all I can about this machine. I know

I love the 8 because it has a primitive look but it stitches so beautifully. There’s just something elegant about it.

I would put a video together if I thought it would be useful. Fact is, it's hard to see the offending area due to the design of the thing: the ring and bobbin obscure what is happening with the hook.

I guess I wasn’t clear. I was hoping for video of the offending machine and with the thread I suggested so I and others could try to see where the stitch went wrong. Maybe your question has already

This is a #3, so it doesn't have a bobbin cover. Attached pic is of a different machine (#1), same style/model. Same principle on the #8, don't know about #9 models. Our #8 works perfectly, but is

Hi Everyone, I am based in the UK and have an interest in finding out more about the machines because Jones machines copied the design of the No9 for their Spool machine. I look forward to learning

Can you post a video with the bobbin cover or door open so the bobbin area is exposed, forming (or attempting to form) a stitch(es) in slow motion,

Welcome! They are fascinating machines. I only have a D-9 which I have not learned to treadle. I bought it because I wanted to be able to sew during a power outage. Why do you like the #8 so

Thank you for the add, happy to be here, learning everything I can about these fantastic machines! ?So far I have a curved needle #3, four #8 treadles, a #8 crank, and a D9. I love 8s, as you can

Good day, all! I am now gratefully accepting? input--thoughts, experience, wild guesses--regarding why the thread on our #3 refuses to pass over the bobbin, instead forging its own path

Singer also bought out the furniture section of W&W. I doubt cabinets were imported to England because of import taxes. The English also had very fine furniture makers.

So to confirm, you are stating it was possible for Singer to continue to make 9W’s in England with the existing W&W machinery? The machine I happened to have is mounted in a Singer cabinet with

It is very possible for your mother to have brought over a W&W (clone or otherwise). W&W also had a factory in England, and the equipment was already there. Singer bought out W&W in 1905 and continued

Bill, Thank you for the quick reply. I am not at your level with Singer and Wheeler & Wilson history so I am not sure what you wrote. Is the Dw1 and Dw7 you mentioned the same as the 9W1 and 9W7?
