I only sew on a 1941 Singer, which looks a lot like yours, and I LOVE it!!!! How much fun it is to sew when there's just nothing to go wrong!!!! (and if something does go wrong, take out the bobbin case, take out the bobbin, put it back in the case then back in the machine....90% of problems solved. If that doesn't work---rethread from the beginning. Problems solved!!!!)

About to make a mad dash out there since she passed and "the young folks" don't have a clue to the value of that machine. Congrats on yours--I'm feeling Blessed about now!!! :thumbup:

I believe that might be a Singer 128. Check out this picture:

I just ordered this same machine, online, and I just love the decals on it. It is not a "red-eye", which would be model #66.
Here are a couple of links to help you learn about winding and loading the bobbin:

Thanks, everyone.
She is a 128 so I will be checking out those bobbin sites! I looked at Lostn51's tute on cleaning the machine but I'm too afraid. I may ask at LQS if they know of anyone that works on old machines. Years ago I knew a Singer sewng machine repair man but he was quite old and passed quite a few years ago.
