Sewing machine for my daughter is almost there.

Spent three hours retiming the bobbin because the needle couldn’t catch. Tons of cleaning and gunk removal all over. Replaced the worn V belt with a textured round urethane belt I made. New LED lightbulbs. Forged out a new brass and silver spool pin.

Last job will be a complete rebuild of the clamshell foot pedal. It’s in rough shape and probably why the machine can’t operate at lower speeds.
