Wondering if anyone can help naming this sewing machine part? as I have broken it and need new part.

Just for information, the dagger makers bottom knocker is a job title from the potteries, although I çant remember exactly what it is they did/do. From a Stokie girl!!

There is a really good sewing machine repair shop in 4Marks if you get stuck. Very honest people.

it's sorted!

It looks like a zipper foot.

If all else fails, there are all sorts of small traders on eBay selling all sorts of things, as we have gratefully found in the past.

It's not my area of expertise (I watch Sewing Bee with admiration! - though less so with that irritating woman doing the presenting now) - but my friend tells me that there are 2 very helpful firms called Nutt, in the Brum area, that you could ask. She goes to Sewing Shows at the NEC (twice a year?) and says they are pretty well known.

A 'DC Nutt' in Walsall, and an 'S Nutt' in Sutton Coldfield, give them a call or drop an email, asking if they can please help? And they can likely also advise if you need a more local repair person?

Send the photos to the agent - he'll know. Or, better, the mother company.

If anybody is looking for sewing machine with swift delivery, I can highly recommend Sewingmachinesales.co.uk. I ordered yesterday in the late afternoon and it has just arrived. It was the cheapest price on the internet with free delivery.

Does anyone else remember the saggar maker's bottom knocker?
😁

Perhaps you're too young

Seems to be Deja vue? Callistemon21 doesn't it?
I had posted , long way upthread what I thought it was called.
Then it kept coming ..... Ah well, we tries our best!

This thread is beginning to remind me of What's My Line.

"So, Mr Jones, the panel has failed to guess your line of work. Tell them what you do!"

"I'm a Sewing Machine Bobbin Winder Stopper Guide maker. I've been making sewing machine bobbin winder stopper guides, man and boy, for the past 49 years"

Hi there, is it called the bobbin winder stopper guide? I found this on amazon USA but I am sure a good sewing shop that sells parts must do them. Good luck.

Thankyou

Hope it works and happy sewing, bikergran 🙂

Thankyou so much to each and everyone of you, it's not often I am stumped but I was with this one and of course if in doubt ask a Gransnetter to find the solution

Yes " a bobbin winder is the other part I need" so I can now google and find out where I can purchase one from.

Callistemon21 thankyou that is the other part I am needing which I have ordered off a well known site ;)

My next step was contacting Brother but seeing as though I now have the part name I can order the second part.

Thankyou all once again : )

Same thought here too!

Your post reminds me of The Naming Of Parts - of the Enfield rifle !
I agree - it's what it looks like to me .
I've had a few sewing machines and my latest is a 60 year old Bernina .
My two local sewing machine repair shops have closed so getting it serviced is now a problem .

Yes, I kept thinking of Naming of Parts too, as well as Wind the Parents Bobbin up

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had daily cleaning. And tomorrow morning,
We shall have what to do after firing. But to-day,
Today we have naming of parts. Japonica
Glistens like coral in all of the neighbouring gardens,
And today we have naming of parts.

Have you contacted Brother or a Brother dealer as they are usually very helpful.

That looks like it Callistemon well done!

Auntieflo got it right. If you google bobbin stopper there are youtube videos where that's what they call it.

Bobbin winder shaft.
