Out in the Wild Today:
One Singer 27 with nice Sphinx decals...had some issues...handwheel didn't move the needle, but the stop action did. It's been electrified...and at the "THRIFT" store (I use the term loosely) they wanted $100 for it. They also had a nice cabinet (no machine) but the opening was 17 inches x 7.25 inches...think it might have been for a Kenmore as it was too long for my Singers but couldn't find a tag on it. $25.00. With it was one butt-ugly sewing chair, again for $25.00. Another store had a CUTE little cabinet with a Montgomery Ward Brunswick machine...tiny little thing with a chocolate crinkle finish, and vibrating shuttle. Had some issues with the cabinet top tho, and felt $25.00 was too much. Another store had a brown lotus for $55....decals were good, but not perfect. They also had a green egg buttonholer for $15.00. My score of the day tho wasn't really sewing related, altho I wanted it for my room...I needed it for my pincushions, thimbles and notions.... probably paid too much at $15.00, but I wanted it!! |

And here are pictures of my plate, top side and bottom side. Nickylsf, you will need to remove the plate to sew with it; unless, you want to just use this machine for darning or free motion quilting/ embroidery. Pretty machine, enjoy! top of plate [ATTACH=CONFIG]229106[/ATTACH] bottom side of plate [ATTACH=CONFIG]229107[/ATTACH] |
Nice little unit to display your goodies. $15.00 is not bad these things go for 35 to 50 here in the antique shops. I will have to try more thrift stores in the future.

I printed off the free manual and there was a step by step diagram on how to do it. Next step is to clean underside that tons of old icky oil on it.
