    Why do people do that? And they still advertise it as a sewing machine.

    I bet they do when they turn it on. That must be so uncomfortable to sew with...

    I haven't tried doing this before , so I hope it works.
    I've seen a few of these- not my cup of tea.

    This one went up in price, originally it was listed as a featherweight and it was $90.

    Crinkle Blackside 128. Possibly harder to find than a featherweight.

    Good to know. I'm still learning the differences between all the black Singers. I won't say they all look the same to me but sometimes.... I'm learning! I'm learning!

    It takes time! My cousin and I went fabric shopping this week and I kept pointing to machines going "15-90", or "127 Pheasant decal", and she just shakes her head. Can't figure out how I do it.

    Here are two that will help you get going:
    http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...r-machines.htm
    http://vssmb.blogspot.ca/2011/07/vis...g-singers.html - This is a great visual, but I find that he misses some weird things. Like a 15 is immediately identifiable by the tensioner on the face plate. (It can only be a 15 or a 115 at that point)
