Hi!
I’m after a piece of powermesh about 20cm square preferably in black. I’m happy to pay for it and postage. I’m looking to make a couple of small items, and I feel bad asking for a sample from a shop as I probably won’t need more than that.

Thank you!

The Haberdashery / Do you have a favourite unpicking tool?
« on: May 04, 2018, 09:04:17 AM »
Off the back of the unpicking discussion...

My usual is an unremarkable large blue unpicker that’s pretty sharp!

But my favourite is this bizarre singer chilli unpicker I found in a box of old stuff...

Vintage Machines / UK Spartan (singer)
« on: March 28, 2018, 13:25:24 PM »
I picked up a Spartan the other day... I’m a little mystified, it’s definitely a Spartan not a 99 (it ses Spartan on it and has the bobbin lifter.

But it’s got a UK motor but in the style of a Spartan and traditional 2 button pedal rather than the US one... and the plug and wiring is all 1960s... any of you guys encountered a UK Spartan?

There’s a US sears kenmore machine, has stitch cams and buttonhole cams in a nice cabinet in Leicester, the machine is 110v and will need a step down which you can get off eBay for 20, looks like a nice machine and sears/kenmore have a reputation for rebranding machines made by the best at the time they bought them.

I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Slant buttonholers on ebay
« on: February 21, 2018, 18:53:18 PM »
There’s a couple of buttonholers on eBay advertised as for slant shanks, they may not have the correct plate but you can drop the dogs instead and if they don’t fit your slant shank you can return/complain.

They are unlikely to fit a 301a as the angle of the slant is slightly different.

The device should fit a 401.
