I hope, I don't regret this -- having a machine shipped is very scary for me!

Billy,
I just got a 1914 Singer Red Eye with the back clamping feet.
I wondered if you would know where I can purchase additional pieces for it such as a quarter inch foot etc etc.
Do they make these for my machine to accomodate the latest type of quilting on a machine if you know what I mean?
I bought a walking foot that I can use on my Featherweight for example.
I hope this pic comes through.

Think I will have to get into the fly wheel bearing has it is really rough in about 10 degrees of rotation.

Lisa, I went to the site on Craigslist that you mentioned and it said web not found. Lately, when someone has posted a Craigslist site, the same message will come up. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

My DH found me one of these over the weekend but mine is a 1917 and very beat up. It is missing all the parts between the back end of the arm and the hand wheel. I will be shipping her to Billy for a spa treatment within a month. Also, hoping for parts. However, I was able to test drive her and she runs. She has a tension problem but if you straighten out the fabric the stitches are perfect. Can't say that about the newer machines.
