Anybody know anything about a Singer, Model 237? There's one availalbe for sale for reasonable price near me and am curious about the machine. Does it take normal or the 206X13 needles?

I don't know and the gal selling it knows squat about sewing machines. It was her mother's.

Why not? Am exploring but completely undecided about even looking at, let alone buying it. I already have perhaps more than enough vintage machines.

Pat it should work fine, as Cathy put a hc on my 99, and it is just great!! But it's way heavy. I don't carry it around too much. My plan is to take it camping. Sewing room to truck to picnic table to truck to sewing room. Not too much moving around!

I have a Singer 237, its a simple machine and works well. It uses a 15x1 modern needle and metal class 15 bobbins, needle goes in flat to the right & threads left to right.
My machine is run by treadle power, it came to me with a stretch motor belt that was too small and ruined the motor; thus it became a treadle machine. It was only $20, nice having a zig zag treadle. It was made in Italy and only offered as a treadle there, has a deep groove in the handwheel; so no modification is required to treadle it. I have done FMQ on several baby quilts with this machine, does it very nicely too. You can see my machine here: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/578828743YiOtbl Sharon W. central Texas |
I know you said to forget, but thought I'd answer your 2nd question and say that those do not need the 206x13 needle. They use the standard 15x1 needle.
