Hi all, I just joined this board tonight so that I could join you in the Sewing Machine Shop. I just love all your sewing machines you are finding. I have been collecting for a while and am embarrased to say how many I have.
I am hoping to get some advice from you knowledgable folks about my old "Free" Sewing Machine. It was once a treadle but was convereted to electric at some point and moved into a portable box.
I would love to find the parts to turn it back into a treadle. Any suggestions? I will have to find a few parts to make it happen. Not sure where I can scrounge them up. It does have the original book. The back of the book says "Model C Blank". No date.
In the book it says to clean it with,,.,, you guessed it, Kerosene.

I finally got the featherweight that I posted the ad about a few pages ago, maybe a lot of pages ago. The green one. I posted pictures of her in the pictures section. She is so pretty. Serial number on her is either AE538709 or AF 538709 kinda hard to tell. I also can not tell if she was originally black or white, but I am guessing black.
I need to find a good dealer for a few little things. She needs the rubber cushions and it looks like the thing that goes on the light switch toggle is also missing. Otherwise she is in great shape.

Oh lucky you!!!
I hope to one day own a featherweight. My sweet DD was going to pay $200 for an antique toy sewing machine the other day. I think I will tell her I would rather have a featherweight. LOL!!

The one that I most want to get going is an old Wilcox and Gibbs. Yes, Ill post you a pic. There is one on the NeedleBar site that was fixed up and running, but this thing is just so different in its parts that I am a bit timid.
Well, I could go on and on about this things.. I have a couple that I would love to get your opinion on. You know, the oddballs... but one at a time I guess would be best..
Thanks for the warm welcome. Ill be back soon.
I am off to an auction this weekend... they advertised two old Singers.. one is a treadle. No idea what models or how much they will go for.. I only get them when they hook up to the back of my car and follow me home.. Funny how many have done that..

Welcome JC, drop in again when you can stay awhile. But understand the call to the auction. I wish we had good old fashion auctions around here. Guess too citified.
Make sure that hitch is good and ready.
