I know the feed dogs don't drop but it has a plate to put over them. It stitches good but I have to try free motion quilting on it If I learn how to post a picture I will get one up for you to see. I also have an old New Home I just received, like it but the needles are hard to find. shorter than the universals. Suzy Billy |

HELP!
Looking for a way to make a 1/4 inch seam with a 15-91 Singer. I thought we bought 1/4 inch foot for a Singer 15-91 low shaft as it was sold to us as such but it definitely is not a 1/4 inch when on the Singer 15-91. How do I obtain a 1/4 inch for piecing? Or do I need to resort to tape? The foot was sold for both a low shaft Singer 66 treadle and an electric low shaft Singer 15-91. They are supposed to both use the same feet. Where we told wrong by the seller? It makes a wonderful 1/4 inch for the Singer 66 treadle. The foot attaches with no problem on the 15-91 but the needle hits too much to the left and even nicks onthe metal of the foot. |

I have also used the ankle from a Viking 6000 series and the 1/4" snap-on foot on my SS Singer machines. I don't really understand why the foot you bought would work on your 66 but not on a class 15 machine. Should work on it as well. |

Thank you, I was playing with it today and it stitches a good straight stitch and also let me free motion quilt with a pretty good looking stitch. Going to practice free motion on it and hopefully quilt a quilt on it. I am still just learning free motion so we will see. I like that the throat is a good 9 inches and also high from bed of machine to top. Roomy, compared to some machines. I've sewed for more than 40 years but just started quilting approximately 4 years ago. Thanks Again Suzy |
I just got 3 new singers today. I will post pics a little later buy here are their dates.
They are all Singer 66's First one it is not a treadle but it doesn't have a motor on it either. The guy told me it will need a new fly wheel to make it into a treadle. AB892879 Oct 25th 1927 with 50000 allotted 2nd This one has a motor and the cord to plug in but not a foot peddle I am going to look over it to see whats going on with it and see if it is worth getting a foot peddle for it. AG664467 April 8th 1947 with 15000 allotted The 1st and 2nd one were both made in Elizabeth NJ. The 3rd one is a Singer red eye 66 with a 6 drawer cabinet that is ohh so pretty. The decals are wonderful on it but I cant find any information on it. I know that it was made in Wittenberge, (Prussia) Germany sometime after 1908 but Singer says they lost the records. I dont really care it is beautiful. Here is this ones info C3551625 Like I said I will get some picks up tonight or tomorrow I was just so happy and excited I had to share |
haha I think I got that last one wrong.Its really hard to tell if the serial number is a C or a G but I am thinking G.
If it is then it is G3551625 made March 16th 1910 made in Elizabeth NJ That is still really cool |
