Well, that's a familiar looking hinged foot. Seems I may have seen one somewhere. Some time back I took my DRESSMASTER to the LSMG and went through all his old feet. I found one that fit perfectly but it doesn't look like that.

Now I have measurements and should be able to ID the feet without testing them.

Wow! I just did a google search for one of these machines and it brought right to the forum....

I saw an ad in my town newspaper for a free sewing machine with cabinet so of course I called, went to look at it, brought it home and it's exactly like yours, Caroline---minus a bobbin winder, though.

I'll have to give it a good check up later on tonight. It's an awesome shade of dark green~

Yes, an awesome sewing machine. Congrats. Did you get a manual with it? You can find it's manufacture date at this link.

It is on the page 123x - 133x.

Mine dates to 1940, serial #127-58621.

Any idea where one could find a free download manual for one?

Well, if DH goes hunting tomorrow, I can make a scan of my manual. I think I owe someone else an threading diagram anyway. Will do both. Do you want actual scan or the manual or a PDF with larger pages?

Where can I find the serial number? I have looked everywhere (except on the underneath parts) for any number that looks like it could be a serial number.

Come to find out....it DID come with a bobbin winder but it doesn't look like any bobbin winder that I've ever seen before. It's on the rear of the machine just above the motor.

It came with a manual if anyone needs a scan of it. Tomorrow I have to check out the odd looking bobbin

Caroline,

A .pdf would be fine. I can adjust them up or down when I print them out.

Thanks.

​Cathy, did you find your serial number? It is underneath. Lift the machine up and it is on a plate facing you. Sorry for the fuzzy pic. But you should get the idea.

J Miller

Caroline,

What does it say on the stitch length lever plate. Your machine looks like it might have a reverse. Mine don't .

Joe

Caroline S

​Mine does have reverse. Question for you. My 127 came with a needle in it. And for the life of me I can't read the size on it. The needle does appear to match the example in the manual. I brought the machine upstairs to give her a stitching test drive. Have you sewn with your machine?

I finished scanning the manual a short while ago. PM me your Email address I will send the manual as a PDF attachment. FYI, the manual appears to be a generic manual for rotary models 127, 159, 179, 217, 227 and 657.
