I can help. Drop me a private email and I will price the replacement needle clamp.

Needle bar screw for walking foot

Cea, There is a special needle clamp made for that machine to use attachments like the walking foot and buttonhole attachment. The threads on most sewing machine screws are not off the shelf stuff. and it seems a bit over the top to have something made special when it is readily available.

We are lucky to have you, who knows what he's talking about and what we're talking about and can come up with these needed parts.

When I had a treadle base missing one of the bolts, I could not get a replacement from a sewing shop, or even a hardware store. On a tip, I took a matching bolt from the other side to the auto parts store (not a chain, but one of the old types) and a gentleman working there went off and returned with the correct bolt - in shiny silver color, not black like those in the treadle base - but with the correct thread and length. I was very glad.

I'd done the hardware store bit (screws, gadgets, gizmos, dodads galore!!), searched the internet, and taken the machine to the shop twice for the part. They just kept putting short screws in it that couldn't work if their life depended. Hopefully, with Ron's help (thanks), I'll finally get what will work properly.
