. . . . . . . . . . . Do you happen to know what size needles it takes. I am having a really hard time finding information about it. I am waiting to hear from a site that might have a manual. Thanks, it's seems to be a really "sweet" machine. Now to find info on the other one. A Free Westinghouse Type 5...how much fun this is!! |

I don't know if he has written one for greasing and oiling yet or not. Thanks! And Thank you Billy for providing so much needed information for all of us! Will leave 2 Lemon Meringue Pies in the shop |

Now just waiting for the mounting hinges to arrive to put her in the cabinet. And for the other machine to arrive so I can do a little rearranging. |
I need help! I got a nice Singer Spartan (the no-frills 99) and have cleaned and oiled it...but the presser foot doesn't clamp down tight on the feed dogs. It has a lot of "play" in it and so the fabric doesn't move well no matter what stitch length I set it on. Other than that it runs very nicely, quiet and smooth. Any suggestions?

That's Billy's friend. The decals are really beautiful on this one. This seller is the best of the best. I've bought several machines from him. Nancy |

Well today I joined the Featherweight Club. I bought a 1955 221 that had been stored in it's case in a barn for decades. It was dusty pretty bad, but the worst was that the motor was barely functioning when we plugged it in and hit the button. It made a labored sound and barely turned the belt at all. How bad will this be to get it going again? Does it sound like it just needs grease, or a whole new motor? The motor belt needs replacing, but there's something going on with the motor, as it just doesn't turn the belt much at all. What can I try? All the wiring looks surprisingly good. Good luck, I really love to sew on my Featherweights in classes! Nancy |
