what is the inside diameter? Would standard sewing thread easily pass through it? Thanks.

Inside on my sample is 1/8. Even if yours is measured as outside diameter thread will go through with lots to spare.

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with thread sizes. Hope someone else can help with your question.

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

I would say<yes,you shouldn't have any problem.I have a larger embroidery/sewing machine that fits just fine.

The spool is approximately 2 1/2" long. The thread does last. I am still on my first spool after making a bobbin twice and almost done with a dress. Still have more to go, but the spool looks like I barely made a dent. Hope this helps.

The opening is .170 or about 3/16 of an inch. The inside diameter of the neck is1/2 inch. I usually use it with 4 seasons dressing mix and about once a month I have to unclog something. Overall I am pleased with it.

The outside diameter of the thread is 2.8", the inside diameter of the container hole is 2.3".

Yes, the sewing machine can sew with a variety of needle sizes and thread thicknesses including standard thread found at fabric stores. Thread tension will have to be adjusted to appropriately handle the lighter threads. Also, recognize that this machine will have a much heavier "industrial" feel to it than the standard household sewing machine and it offers only straight and zig-zag stitches. Although the needles can easily be found online, your daughter may not be able to find the appropriate needles at her local fabric store. A more refined and customized version of this machine is sold by Sail Rite and is called the LSZ1. The Sail Rite website will include numerous videos which will fully detail the capabilities of this machine.

1. It holds standard large spools sold in our sewing machine store. The bobbins are standard size. 2. The "feet"? It sets on the base of its plastic case. 3, My wife says it is easy to use - and she is no pro!

What fun to be using an antique machine! I'm sure it's challenging, but worth the effort! In answer to your question, Organ sewing machine needles that I purchased are 1 1/2" long. The top 3/4" of the needle (which fits into the needle bar) is flat on one side, but the rest is rounded. I hope that this answers your question. Good luck!

I use a size 16 or 18 in a machine, depending on the material to be sewn. The thread probably will not fit through anything smaller than a size 14.

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

It's 11 1/8" approximately. I use mine for a computer and I keep the desk part down permanently. Your sewing machine could sit out a bit and use that space behind it for storage

It is 1/2 inch. Sorry :( Don't think it is squishable to fit through. Just 1/16 too big.

My guess would be no. The top inside has a plastic zippered compartment and padding which would not lay flat enough on a sewing machine. However, if you would hand sew the initials....that might work (going through the outside material only.)
