She,singer,has covers front and back on bed to the right of the needle. I am pretty sure she is a 127.Jan |
Thank you for the welcome. I have enjoyed reading how the machines find their owners. I have 26 or so that have just had to be mine. Some I have worked on, some waiting, some that are just junk from a school sale of machines, but for a quarter apiece, I couldn't pass them up.

A question for you, Glenn... I'm a little concerned about the wood screws going back into the old holes. I'm planning on using this Singer in this cabinet as a 'daily driver'. I'm afraid the screws won't hold... but be loose enough to work themselves out over time/use. I've heard various solutions to this problem - everything from daubing the holes with wood putty to wood glue. What do you think holds best? |

I have an original also, the craftmanship quality of the new one is rather crude when compared to the Singer part that came with my Singer 201K-4. I like using a treadle machine much better, but my granddaughters liked using the handcrank much better. Sharon W. Nancy I love the hand cranks that I have they are really smooth and the paint looks so nice on them. The only gripe is that they do not have the wooden handle but the supplier I get these from told me they are made in Canada. Billy |

I have always loved old sewing machines, so I am glad to see that I am not alone in the world. I got my great grandmother's treadle when I was 14 back in 1976, and made it work then, and have continued to find new prizes regularly. I have enjoyed learning about other machines, and am looking forward to learning more.
Welcome aboard and I am glad you are here with us!! Billy |
About 3 weeks. I got carried away after reading the cleaning tutorials and had to take care of a Davis Model D in the midst of the reading. I had asked for a sewing machine reference type book for Christmas and found this site instead.

BoJangles, Thank you so much for the manuel website. This is the book to my machine. It will be a great help. I haven't figured what all the pcs. in the drawers are yet and this is a great help for me. Can't do much today for we just got a call that my husbands sister just past away this evening. Look forward to catching up with you all at another time. Jan
