shirleyl Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I purchased a used bobbin cam. What kind of adhesive do I need to install it and does anyone have any really good instructions. She sent me what she had and it is from manquilter.com/BobbinCam.html, pages 2-4, but his website doesn't have the information any more. Any assistance would be appreciated. It is on my list for Sunday or Monday to install. I know there are several of you that have it out there so hopefully someone will know what I need. Also I have the both additinal hartley spool holders on top, so do I move one of them or what. I really wanted this and they had quit making them, now I have it and I don't know where to put it. I think I have thought about this too much. Time to walk away. Thank you Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamu Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 You need to go to the hardware store and get the sticky velcro heavy duty stuff. You will probably have to cut to size and be careful where you put it as once it is done you can't hardly get it back up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudithWashburnQuiltStudo Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Email manquilter, he would send you his instructions. I suggest using pipe cleaner to hold it on to find your placement, then put the velcro. Did you get the double face pad for the camera. If not you will need to see if there are sheets so you can secure the camera to the machine. This is must to have it tight so it doesn't vibrate and shake as you are sewing. If not, ask manquilter if he knows where you can get more. To firm my camera up I had to get some of the kids craft form sheets 6MM to help shim the camera to the support prevent the shaking when sewing. Good luck.

shirleyl Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I had sent him an email but he must be busy since I haven't heard back from him. Either that or he didn't get it. I will send him a new email. Thanks Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micajah Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi, Walmart has the same clear heavy duty plastic velcro that came with my bobbin cam. Or it comes in a black plastic too. I used a right angle bracket to attach it to my machine. You can find it in the paper and pen section hanging on the notions wall. http://www.flickr.com/photos/debbiemcdonald/page6 this is a link to some photos of my setup for the camera on the head of my machine. hope this helps you.

shirleyl Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for the information. Matt said he would send me directions tomorrow. It will be good as this quilt is taking a day longer than I thought it would. Over scheduling myself again. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
