5 x Jones Swan Neck/Serpentine Bobbins
Set includes 5 durable resin bobbins
for Vintage Jones Swan Neck sewing machines (all other machines, bobbins and
shuttles are photographed for comparison purposes and are not included).
These are the long bobbins compatible
with the reciprocating boat type shuttles of the Jones Swan Neck. These are a
very different shape to the Singer 12's and later Jones Family machines
(If you are looking for Singer 12's,
the later type oscillating shuttle Singer, Jones, F&R or Vesta bobbins,
please see my other listings)
I have had a number of people
request these bobbins and I have been waiting patiently for a suitable machine
to become available. I invested significantly in a Swan neck machine, which I
restored to sewing condition specifically to develop these bobbins.
I was really surprised how usable
these serpentine machines actually are. I have worked with a fair few of the
pre-1900 designs and I would say these are superior to Singer 12's. They can
really be used as a robust and regular clothes-making sewing machine rather
than a curiosity (especially with more bobbins!).
These bobbins have undergone
rigorous testing and have great durability. I designed them to work well inside
the boat shuttle and winder. They are genuinely a good, well fitting substitute
for the super-rare bobbins that came with these vintage machines.
These bobbins have been accurately modelled from genuine vintage Swan Neck Jones machines.
*** If you are in any doubt about the type of bobbin you require, please send me a photo of your machine and I will happily identify it for you***
