I have just over a metre square of this fabric left over after making myself a top. Got it in a sale, so just £9 for a metre - would it be of any use to anyone?

£9 and I'll pay the P&P?

Modeled by my long-armed OH  and a close up, measurements are 110cm width and 103cm minimum length.

Post here if you'd like it

This should help

Hi Jessie - I don't have a 611g, so maybe I'm missing something, but looking at the manual online it doesn't need a special feeddog cover when buttonholing?

Looking at the manual  http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/719377/singer-611.html?page=53&original=1

it says general purpose throat plate? It doesn't mention a cover at all. I'm probably missing something, sorry.

Oh I am sorry 

We'll keep looking for nice white featherweights together then (((hug)))

About the paypal thing - if you send money to "friends and family" they don't have to pay a fee to receive the money at the other end - i.e. they get all the pennies you sent. BUT you can't claw the money back.
If you send it as "payment for goods and services" the receiver pays a fee i.e. they do not receive all the pennies you send, but you do have a possibility to claw back the money if the service you receive is not to standard.

It also applies when you sell on ebay - not only do ebay take their fee but your payment via paypal also owes paypal a fee, which is taken during the transaction. So you end up with less than you might think!

Hope that made sense

Hoping or the best Roger. Will you able to get your £££ back if it goes pear-shaped?
 

Oh yes, I have the 180 page technical briefing, and the associated service manuals. The trouble is Husqvarnas were never meant to be "tinkered" with - they assumed you'd never even take the cover off this one, it has no oil points even. You were supposed to brush the fluff out - or send it to a Husqvarna engineer 
The engineering is superb, but they are so hard to repair unless all they need is cleaning and lubrication - I don't think I'll take on one again.

I have isolated the fault area, but it's impossible for me to repair.

Prepare to be amazed! It moves
This has nothing to do with my skill, and everything to do with Husqvana engineering I think. I've been scraping out old grease that had been applied to the metal/plastic gears (WHY???!!!) and chipping and soaking off old oil that was solid on a lot of the shafts and moving points.
I've used tri-flow (recommended on the Husqvana group) and lots of directed heat (hair dryer) and lots of turning it over by hand.

The last sticking point is the pattern cam follower, but I'm getting there.Feeling quite chuffed about this one 

Well I've managed to discover where in the machine the seized section is - so some very slow progress
