<p>Hello Lorena, first of all I want to thank you for your help, I imagine that 110/5 means size 110 and that 5 needles come in the package, I need to know the model of the needle to be able to try it, if you add me as a friend in the post office section from Hat Academy, we could send emails and you could send me the photo of the envelope where the needles come, because it will contain the size and model of the needle, or a photo of the needle as you wish, I thank you very much for the manual…</p>
<p>Hello Lorena, first of all I want to thank you for your help, I imagine that 110/5 means size 110 and that 5 needles come in the package, I need to know the model of the needle to be able to try it, if you add me as a friend in the post office section from Hat Academy, we could send emails and you could send me the photo of the envelope where the needles come, because it will contain the size and model of the needle, or a photo of the needle as you wish, I thank you very much for the manual in French of the anita machine b grossman although it does not mention anything about the needles I hope to find a manual that can talk about the needles since as I have told you I had to cut one because I needed a thinner and shorter needle so that it could enter well and I am worried that it could damage my Grossmann Anita b.</p>
<p>I'm curious how you mounted the machine to the tables, did your machines have the bottom screw to hold them down? In this case there is no problem or you had to make a new thread in your machine to put a new screw, I would like to know how you solved it. Regards.</p>

<p>Good evening Ninni, I have problems with the needle of my Grossmann straw sewing machine Anita b, do you know if there is a specific needle for this machine, I had to cut a needle to accommodate it, but I imagine there has to be a specific needle for this machine Thanks in advance, Regards.</p>

<p>Thank you for your advise on the Dresdensia machine purchase. I am now a very proud owner of a machine in the making. The package which was in the purchase included several extra spare parts, including feet with the second foot guide which I think you are looking for.</p>
<p>You asked about the second guide which attaches under the foot plate. It is an essential guide to ensure the braids are feeding into the machine at the precise position. I think that the machine could possibly work without the second guide but probably not very successfully for sewing braids. I wonder if it might work to sew turned edge of brims or even sewing Petersham headbands. I have not tried this but I think it will be worth trying</p>
<p>My purchase included enough spare parts to (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">almost)</span> make up 3 working Dresdensia Machines. I have spent several hours and lots of elbow grease removing surface rust, rebuilding the machines and replenishing the oil supply and am very pleased with the result. It has been a very satisfying exercise, as well as a costly one. I have learned so much about the machines. All three machines are now working like a charm, chaining beautifully and I have mounted them on chopping boards as suggested by Marianne in the Hat Magazine and I have purchased new sewing machine motors ready to complete the process. As I only need one machine, I will be placing two of them on the market, as I am sure that other milliners will be happy to find a working Dresdensia machine, already set up with a motor and ready start sewing immediately after purchase. However, I am missing one of the larger guides which can be moved across the front of the machine by turning the round knob. Its Purpose is to slide it along to guide the braid from the hank to run under the two foot guides which allows a perfect width for sewing each row together evenly. I am also missing two small guides which slide into a small round hole in the larger guide to improve the feed of the braid making the process more accurate and speedy. Consequently, I am calling out for these parts in case someone has some spare parts laying around somewhere that I could purchase, or maybe I can find some very clever person who could manufacture a replica part.</p>
<p>I think I may be able to help you with the foot and guides and the instruction book for the Anita B, and I am hoping that with the enquiries you have been making, together, we might come up with a solution to my needs too. Including an English version of the Dresdnesia Machine for both of us. If I am emailing the Instruction Book, I could also send the photos that I intended to include here. I look forward to your reply.</p>
<p>Thanking you</p>
<p>Happy chaining</p>
<p>Regards</p>
