Wow, that is a bueatiful machine.

Really nice details. It always amazes me how intricate things were made back when there wasn't all the technology. A good find.

Have a treadle my grandfather traded a shotgun for in 1917. It needs much work, but I have all the attachments, etc.

"To alter the stitch length on the 15K machine, first loosen the screw then move upwards to increase or downwards to decrease; except on the 15K26 model when it operates in the opposite way." Since I was out in the Shed looking for something else, I checked, and my IF, 15-1 and two of my 15-30's operate by moving it UP to decrease stitch length and DOWN to increase stitch length. I have at least two more 15-30's but did not check them. Now we need someone with a 15K30 to check and let us know if there machine does operate the other direction. |
Got to thinking I have that 15 RAF machine, so I checked it, and it's opposite from all my earlier 15-30 machines.
It's an AD machine, so US made, but mid 30's, so one of the last of the 15-30's before the 15-91 came out. So it's possible the change in stitch length mechanism is a Date issue and not a Model issue. |
That is a beautiful machine.

Much prettier than my plain Singer.

Gorgeous machine, if you were going to get one at that price it is perfect! Lucky you. Ours here are a lot higher than that and none so pretty. Glad you got it.

And I have learned a lot by having it. I learned how to resize pics and post them. I told my niece about my machine and she asked for a quilt. Purple and hunter green. Got most of my fabric - need one more piece. Can't wait to get started on it. |
