Just thought it seems appropriate to note that today is Allen Wilson's 200th birthday! As a refresher, he invented the vibrating shuttle, the rotary hook and round bobbin, and the four way motion for the feed dogs. And, of course, he was the "Wilson" of Wheeler and Wilson. paul =---------------------- paul fox, pgf@... (arlington, ma, where it's 56.0 degrees)

I am a vintage Singer collector/hoarder and in a recent acquisition found two unusual bobbins. My research led me here and looking at the helpful bobbin comparison document on this forum I think they are for a Wheeler and Wilson 12 machine. I would like to get them to a good home(s). I am in central Illinois and looking for a Singer 301 at the moment. So working out a deal that would re-home a 301 with me or a contribution to my 301 fund, while helping out someone with a W&W 12 would be ideal. -sarah

Hi all. I recently was given a German sewing machine that several people think is a copy of a Wheeler and Wilson #9. I would love to find a manual for it.Does anyone know where I could get a free download? I have been warned that the hand crank turns over away from me, but I would like more information. Thanks, Liz

The following files and folders have been uploaded to the Files area of the [email protected] group. * /Singer D1_Dw7 IPB.pdf ( /g/Wheeler_and_Wilson-Sewing-Machines/files/Singer%20D1_Dw7%20IPB.pdf ) *By:* Bill Wells <ronone69@...> *Description:* Singer Parts List 9w1 and 9w7. Form 1686w September 1919. The booklet is the product of multiple photocopies and is not of the best quality. It will not OCR because of the poor quality. If anyone has an original copy I would be interested in obtaining it or a high resolution scan. I am working on rebuilding the booklet with photos of actual parts instead of drawings.

Looking for some needles for a ww #3

Hello, I joined recently after getting a #8 hand crank. I tend to collect and use treadles and hand crank sewing machines. There always seems to be room for one more hand crank. Having a machine shipped is not my favorite way to get a machine, but it’s the only way sometimes. I was lucky, well the seller was, since they were relying too much on the 8 being bolted instead of latched into the case. It worked out and we were both lucky. Thank goodness with such a nice machine! /g/Wheeler_and_Wilson-Sewing-Machines/album?id=285908

Hi! I have a wheeler & wheeler d12 industrial treadle. It has the bobbin case with the arm holding it in. My issue is that the arm won't stay up. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello. I wanted to introduce myself as I have been asked to be the new chair of ISMACS, the International Sewing Machine Collectors Society. I am very excited about the prospect and am looking forward to working with the membership to determine what ISMACS needs to do moving forward in order to maintain its reputation as the go to organization for collectors while expanding its reach to bring in new members. If you have suggestions or thoughts on the direction of the organization please feel free to email me at chair@.... Thank you for your patience. Calvin Armerding

I picked up a W&W D-9 in a bookcase cabinet on Friday. I've been in love with these cabinets for quite a while and was so excited to find one. It is dirty, musty, and absolutely beautiful. I'm quite confident that the cabinet will cleanup beautifully with some work. It is complete and the treadle works. The faux books are extremely faded. They were originally a deep burgundy, but are almost white now. It will take some thought and research to figure how to add color to them while retaining the gold gilding. The D-9 also needs some attention, but I think it will clean up well. It is missing its front plate, but I can borrow one from my other D-9 until I can find one for this machine. Did I need another D-9? No, no I didn't, but I couldn't pass up this cabinet. Pictures: W&W Bookcase Cabinet

Hello Wheeler and Wilson group, I'm Mindy, and reside in the foothills of Northeast Georgia mountains. My father had been hiding this W&W D9 in an old metal building in Tallahassee, FL. He had the head laying on its side on top of the treadle cabinet. Squirrels had been nesting with pine needles, and hiding acorns in the head of the machine. I screaked with excitement. I had been reading about several different treadle machines, and read that W&W's were some the smoothest treadles ever made. It was seized up, and Dad poured motor oil, lighter fluid, and something else down in it. With a little effort Dad was able to free it up. I have asthma, and had to breathe that awful mess for 6 1/2 hrs drive home. The cabinet was in bad shape, and the paint on the head was breaking off in chunks. It's not valuable in its current state, and so I will rehab it for me in the color of my choosing. I was able to sew a few masks in 2020, but have not had the time to set her up. I had to move 4 times in 2020. Moving finally ended once I was able to purchase a home. I can't wait to start sewing again, and I have manage to buy a few feet. I stumbled upon this group, and I am trying to ask my youngest son for assistance in making the adapter. His wife bought him a 3D printer for Christmas last year. I found the patent, but it doesn't have the measurements. Maybe he can use a W&W foot and a Singer foot to craft a presser foot adapter.

There are plenty of hand-crank videos of D9s on YouTube and various other brands, but I have yet to see someone treadle with a D9. I’m having issues. When I try to use my feet, the hand wheel always ends up spinning counterclockwise after a second of trying to get it going the other way. Second, when I do kind of get it going (still counterclockwise) just to try to practice, it goes for a bit and then the flywheel gets stuck somehow and I can’t use the foot pedal at all, or get it going with the hand wheel either. In order to start again, I have to move the flywheel itself with my hand to get it started again. Even if I get a good speed and rhythm going, it stops cold for no reason.

Hey group. I’ll preface this by saying I have no clue how an email group works, but I’m glad to be here. I just acquired my first treadle today; a Wheeler & Wilson D9. I’m from California, but living in Virginia for the time being. I have 3 sewing machines now, and probably won’t acquire more as I’m pretty set right now. My dream was to get a treadle and now I’ve got one, but the d9 is harder to find info on/needles for than the lady at the shop told me..so I’m hoping this group can help.

I am very interested in the W&W D-9 catalog. I own one and would like to look up accessories that were available. Sandra W. Haak Email: swhaak@...
