And what is that top lever for above the lever for the foot? I only have the older manual that I found online. What is the "older manual"? Interested in a copy of my original one...remember mine is a 1914 model. http://www.ismacs.net/davis/manuals.html Did you ever get your machine to run backwards? Have you taken your front plate off? I had a hard time getting mine back together with that upper "extremely heavy material" lift. (I'll bet this is what the "New High Arm" is, do you think??) But it does need cleaned and oiled good. If you want a copy of my manual, let me know by PMing me your address. I tried the reverse button again and what it does is stitch in place, so it locks the stitches. My manual says it should reverse. I don't care. I love this machine and it sews seeewwww good!! LOL! |

$595 for a Singer walking foot!!!!! I was on April 1930s site to get a SITD foot for my 301. There was demo for a vintage walking foot. I'm glad I didn't want a 'black penquin'.
They didn't have a rubber replacement wheel for the bobbin filler on my machine listed. I'll call tomorrow. If they don't have one, where do I look next? Mine is very dry and is going to crumble. |
Thank you Sharon, Purplefiend, for mentioning the dental floss! My 201 no longer clanks. My husband said I should do that with all my treadle belts.:)
