Anyone good at naming feet?
I have some feet that were in the drawer of my machine. I know several of them but most I do not know how to use 1. I dont know what it is 2. Is a ruffler but I dont know how to attach it 3. Is a regular foot 4. Has a turn under for like edges I think? 5-9 I think these are binders although I have no clue how to attach them to the machine. 10. Is not a foot but I dont know what it is or what it goes with. It has the domestic star so I know it is for something 11. Have no clue what 11 is I can also take more pictures. Plus I have a singer ruffler I dont know if I can use that on my machine |

Billy do you know anything about this Domestic? Nancy Okay I relooked up all the info about my machine. I have memory problems so I end up lookign things up mulitiple times :-D My machine was made in the 1880's it is the #4 family cabinet I think. The manual in the Smithsonian that is from 1880 works for my machine From what I haver read is that White bought out the Domestic company sometime in the early 1900's. I have never seen that Phaff bought them out I did find this on needlebar http://needlebar.org/main~nb/dates/pfaff/index.html Its the serial numbers for Phaff if you are looking for info for a Phaff |

Hello all,
We just got back from running around to Antique Eporiums and I found a hand crank Singer. The machine was very cute, in good shape, but had no needle assemby attached to the bar thing. Anyway, they wanted $275 for the machine. The only numbers on the machine were on the base of the head and they both started with a number that was separate from the rest of the numbers. The numbers were # 7 641334 and below that number with the same spacing # 1 903834. I could not find another number on the machine. This machine has to be pre 1900's? I couldn't see a place for a bobbin, was this a chain stitch only machine? What do you guys think of this deal? Can I get a replacement Needle assembly thing -- she said they may have taken it off so it wouldn't get stollen. Nancy |

My wife quilts and in the process I seemed to have found a fascination for sewing machines. I just love the mechanics of them, they are so logical. So I joined this board to learn as much as I can about them (who knows I might even learn to quilt) I found two machines at our local Bernina store this past weekend and they were very cheap. This one is an Ideal Electric, I have no ideal how old it is and it seems to be in very good condition. I have searched the internet but to no luck so I will keep trying. Since I am new here is there a way to just search this thread if I am looking for a particular machine? Thank you for letting me share this.
