[quote=Anonymous]I found a Singer Rocketeer in a NYC dumpster The previous owner was using the wrong bobbin spring and gave up. It was sewing realy messed up no matter what adjustments I made. I sleuthed out thru online channels that the tension spring was slightly the wrong shape, found the correct one and now it works great. It has a larger motor than my first which was a singer featherweight and smoke would rise out of that motor with seams that were heavier than simple cotton. There are lots of helpful maintenance websites and videos out there. Owning a sewing machine is good combo of home ec and shop skills for your child.[/quote]
