If you end up wanting to sell let me know or we can also trade for some long arm quilting services that I do...that is if you dont already do that yourself!

The 15, 27, 66, 201 are the same and depending on the handwheel the belt length should be the same.

I wish I had the treadle my Grandmother sewed on. When Gram passed away, that machine went to her sister. That old machine is where I learned to make clothes for my cats when I was a little girl. I didn't play dolls but I sure had well dressed cats. They weren't too thrilled with playing cat-dolls. I was looking at the featherweights, some are in beautiful colors at this one site.

It's a particular Singer machine, made in the 1920's through 50's, I believe. They are well known as work horses that stitch a GREAT stitch - perfect for patchwork quilting. They don't do any fancy stitches, just forward and back, but they are reported to be wonderful machines!

Billy,
Since today is my birthday, and I'm a poor church secretary, do you think there's any way you could find it in your heart to be nice to me? I'd be happy to purchase it from you, but I certainly can't spend the normal amount on one... I just don't have it. As my birthday gift, you could be nice and let me purchase it for....oh, how about $100, plus shipping? I got $50 from my parents for my birthday, so I'd only have to come up with the extra $50. Pretty please???? As a person who has had to put up with April Fool's jokes for the past 55 birthdays, I think I deserve a break!! :-) Email me on my personal email: [email protected] :lol: :thumbup:
