Happy to combinepostage where practical.
The advantage of the Singersewing machine collet system for holding needles
is that you get super-accuratepositioning whic...h leads to good stitches.
The disadvantage isthat it’s very easy to overtighten and badly damage the
needle bar.
That’s why Willcox& Gibbs produced these miniature spanners which were
given away withaccessory sets for every machine they sold.
With it, it’s impossibleto overtighten the nut which closes down the end of the
needle bar onto the needleitself.
This one appears to bebrand new. It was a duplicate which came in a machine
in my collection.
