Any guess on what model this machine is? Don't you just love it when they take pictures of the back of sewing machine? It would be like taking a picture of the undercarriage of a car you are trying to sell.

I'm waiting for the weather and time to eclipse to do Glenn's method. I have had some good discussion with my boss of late. Seems we are taking up the slack for someone who can't handle their job. DD is doing a lot better - she had a kidney stone after all. Thanks for all the prayers.

Candace, I have had that machine for so long it is second nature for me - yes, the button tells you what you need to do!

Yes, thanks, I downloaded one. I now need to order up some bobbins and maybe the snap on 1/4" foot you recommended to me. Then I should be good to go! Do you FMQ with yours? I was very surprised that it was so quiet and smooth. I do love my 301's for FMQ, but they are a bit noisy. The foot makes a bit of a clicking sound. Which can be a bit of a headache when there are a bunch of us sewing together.

I saw an ad on CL last week for a very inexpensive 301. I watched it for a few days and kept telling myself I did not need ANOTHER 301. It was advertised in non-working condition and missing parts. I've really had to watch expenses since taxes were overwhelming for us this year. I had to run to Southern CA. and figured when I got back 3 days later, if it was still for sale it was meant to be.
It was meant to be:> I spent about 4 hours getting it working. It was pretty rusted and locked up. Now she's another gem and stitches beautifully. I own 5 of them now. I think I need a 301 intervention! LOL!!

Don't know what that one is, Sheryl. You're right about taking pics of the back of the machine...just selling because they don't have the bobbin holder? Yeah, right!! They likely never stitched one stitch on that machine, otherwise they would know which was the front!! LOL People are LAME!!

You never know...it might be just what you want!! LOL If it's early 60's, it's probably still all metal, so wouldn't be bad.

Monica everytime someone starts a new thread, like the attachments thread, I just add it to my subscriptions. That way I can go into the subscriptions and pull any one of them up. You can also see if there has been any activity by the date last posted if you miss them in your in box. I am not really sure what you meant by that last paragraph? Why would we want a "look at my new vintage machine" when we can post them here or in the vintage photo shop? I am not quite following you?

Maybe, the best thing is if there were more of the "Sticky" threads besides MUV's tutorial on cleaning a machine in the "For the Vintage & Antique Machine Enthusiast". The list should included different attachments, photos of machines, quilts made with vintage machines, FW questions, Glenn's tutorial on cabinet restoration.
This way those that are new to vintage machines or those needing information from a particular thread but don't stop by the Vintage Machine category often enough can find the subtopic of interest on the first page. Hopefully this conveys what I was trying to say.
So, with all that dribble from me, I'll be off setting up subscriptions to threads.

OK, anyone wanna guess what this is? They say Singer, but I don't recall seeing that type decal on a Singer.
