Ok, now I have a real dilemma here. Help! She is offering me a chance to buy the longarm too, on payments even. She wants $3000 for it but I have no clue on LAs, is this a fair price? Her mom paid $2500 for it when she bought it. From what I could see of it, it is a Singer Industrial model with the table. From comparing it to pics on google search, it looks similar to a 15-91 model. Were these models made industrial sized? The head is huge!, not like my 27 I have. The head has Singer and Industrial stamped on it but can't get the serial number off it til tomorrow, when I go back to help clear more stuff and get first dibs on any fabric I want. Anyone here know about these things?? Nancy |

An old neighbor gave this to me. Any information would be appriciated. Also I have no attachments or the book for it, only the foot that is on it. Any ideas where I can get them?

It has a whole bunch of weird feet. The stitch dial doesn't do much and the built in knee control doesn't move very far. I have yet to clean it up. I've had to catch up on regular work and hope to get something done on the machine over the week end. There is a manual - pretty small print... I'm thinking enlarge on the copy machine... The power does not go on when it is plugged in - no power at all. Is there some way to clean the contacts? Any info would help.

Like the serial, make, model, etc. We can still discuss them over here in the shop but I want a place so we can build a data base of machines so we can identify ones that we score down the road.

I recently got a sweet deal on a 99K handcrank machine. $12! The only issue it has is that the handcrank is on backwards. If you crank it away from you, then the machine stitches in reverse. You need to crank it towards you to get it to stitch properly. This would normally not bother me, but of course the handcrank handle will loosen off if you crank it towards yourself for an extended period of time. Is there a way to take off the crank and fix it? Or do I need to get a new crank and install that instead?
Also, when the bobbin winder is pushed up against the wheel to wind, the rubber doesn't catch quite right and it won't wind. Do I need to get new rubber for the winder? It turns perfectly freely on its own. Here's a photo of my gorgeous machine. |
Billy or ?
Hoping someone can answer my questions. I am looking for a Singer 66. I want to make it into a hand crank. If I find a treadle 66 head, can I add a crank to that? My son could make a base for it. Also, if I find an electric one, can I leave the motor on and use the hand crank when I want to, without turning on the machine? Or does the motor have to be removed for the hand crank to be attached? Would love to have a machine that was both electric and hand crank. Does this make sense? thanks in advance for your help.

Free motion quilt with my 15. Straight quilt or sew clothes with my 201. Attach binding with my Davis NVF. And finish binding with decorative stitch from my Singer 328K in treadle. IF I didn't wish to treadle all my machines, I would go for the Rocketeer! Most likely down the road a Rocketeer will show up at my doorstep along with that Neechi to be treadle. Those Rocketeers are so cool looking! |
