My mom always gave the hand wheel a turn on her old black Singer (don't know the model), so I always did, too, until I got a newer machine. Sadly, Mom sold the old black Singer and replaced it with a "Stylist 457" which I have always hated! She gave it to me last summer, and I promptly passed it on to my SIL. I don't own a 15 - yet!

I have 2 of them. One was my mom's the other I bought at auction because I wanted the cabinet. The cabinet is a wreck and the machine is just dirty. The finish is really nice. It was made in Canada. Wonder how it got to Texas?

I have a 15-88 treadle that I am teaching myself to fmq with rulers. I have been using it for piecing and I have quilted a wall hanging on it with a walking foot and a lot of other sewing. Just a lovely machine. I learned to sew on my moms 15-91, which she bought after learning to sew on my grandma's treadle. She got such a kick out of me having a treadle, she told me that she bought an electric machine as soon as she could afford one:-) One day that machine will come to me as well.

I have 2 of them, plus one extra motor. I haven't used in quite awhile, but now have a job that I think only the 15-91 can handle - going through heavy strapping used for handles on a large tote bag. None of the new computerized machines, and definitely not the little FW, can do it - So 15-91 is the last hope. If it works, I'll post a photo of the completed bag.
