    I'll have to look for another vintage Singer Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Terry
    The Singer 15-88,201,237 have drop feed dogs. The 237 is a zig zag machine, electric, but you can remove the motor and light; it treadles nicely. You can see a picture of the 237 on page 465.

    Well, just keep an eye out - I only paid $100 for my Wilcox & Gibbs with the cabinet (of course the cabinet looked like crap and was painted black). My little New Home T No 3 got thrown in too! Someone obviously took the little machine to put on a shelf somewhere -- that is what people do -- then just left the cabinet! It would really be cool to put that cabinet back together with a Wilcox and Gibbs and make something!

    Of course, that section of the state is supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow tonight :shock: :shock: :shock: and that is not even an April Fool's joke!
    Great machine at a great price. I believe I'd have to buy it if I were close enough, even though I have enough W & W machines. They are a dream to sew on.

    Nancy
    I have sewn on my 9W, WW 9 HC and WW 8 treadle. All are wonderful to sew on. I think folks avoid them because of the scarcity of needles, but the needles can be found and the machines are among the best I've ever sewn on.
