But, yes the feet you use on your FW will fit the 15's. I just ordered a hopping/darning foot on-line. Do a search, they are very easy to find.
All the Schmetz 15x1 needles work on the 15 just like the FW.
I hope this helps.

Weedwoman: That's funny to me that on your other one, you are trying to remove the remaining decals because they are too far gone, when most of us are trying to save what's left! I bet it is pretty shiny black. That is the look I want for that special 15 I'm searching for. .. . shiny black and chrome!!

I now have all the parts that I need for my ladies. It is a good to see them back together. I now have cabinets left to get or refinish. My 66 I paid way to much for, but they said that they were going to put it in the yard for yard art. I just can not imagine doing that to these wonderful ladies so I bought it and now have to refinish the cabinet. Kathie

Would someone please explain what a friction drive motor is, and could it be what I have on my White Rotary shown on page 617?

Does your bobbin winder wheel sit on your sewing wheel? I think that is what drives the bobbin winder to make it work.
