I have a Model 24 that is an industrial that was used in a hat factory to sew hat bands. They had some that would run up to 4 needles at one time!
Here is an advertisement for one right here......

We are leaving tomorrow to go visit our daughter. I was checking out the craigslist for her area and found a Singer 404 for sale for $30.
I am looking for a light-ish weight machine to take to quilting classes.
Does anybody have any experience with this machine? Is it good?
I've never sewn on a slant needle machine...anything to look for, etc?

"1958 Singer 404 slant needle machine, very clean and in excellent working condition. Beautiful stitching.
Accessories include not only zipper foot, but a gathering foot, a ruffler, a bias binding foot. Drop-in bobbins.
All metal parts. "
So I guess I"m gonna email them and ask if we can come see it this weekend! :)

I was thinking about the model 24, not the 20.
