Hi everyone.
I've learned a lot from this board that have helped me get involved with vintage machines. I have a small quilt company that goes to regional quilt shows and waiting for our website to be built.

Does anyone know a wholesale company that sells parts and accessories for Singer Featherweights and 301's? I've been using one, but it's kind limited and I know there are more products out there. I prefer to collect good condition vintage parts to use on the machines we sell, but there are some things that are not easily available.

Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone is interested, I will post our website link when it's ready.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I'll take a look at the message.

you can find parts on ebay. I bought some for some of my antique machines.

I don't have a clue about places to buy parts for a business, but would like to see your website. Some places charge and arm and two legs for parts for these old machines, so would be nice if there was someplace that would't be so high priced.

to get parts for resale, I'd think you'd have to be the one breaking down the machines.
As for selling them at shows, I'd concentrate on common vintage, you'd need a 60 ft van to
carry your stock for all the machines mentioned here.

It isn't something I'd look for at a show, I'd be looking on-line.
For shows, rather than follow the herd with Featherweights I'd concentrate on collecting
Singer 301 404, 99, and sell the actual machines themselves.

Or specialize in needles, both common and uncommon. Higher mark-up, lighter to pack and carry

Keep us posted!
