However, the old, tatterd top had been hand pieced and the other one was machine pieced which apparently made all the difference in the prices. While both were beautiful, the one with fewer condition issues is the one I'd have bought if I had been buying one. I assume this would also have applied to any tops machine pieced on a vintage treadle, too.
I have been having computer issues, so haven't kept up with much lately. Somewhere in my lost info is the bookmark for the singer site that gives info by serial number. I picked up at auction a singer with the serial number G4665457 - I think that is the number. The manual with it is on model 115. There are all kinds of attachments in the drawers, even one for making your own rugs.
I will attach pictures when taken. If someone could direct me to the site for singer, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Found her! She was in a group allotted May 3, 1916, model 115. Now I will be looking for info on needles, bobbins, etc. And checking out the tutorial on how to clean her up. She needs a lot of work.

I like to finish off my bindings with a decorative stitch. I have been using my daughter's Threadbanger T-30 which can handle this type of work so far, but I have been worried about the machine being able to continue to handle this load since the machine has plastic parts. So, I have been on a hunt for a machine to use in treadle that has cams for decorative stitching. I do hope that this machine will work out well for what I wish to use it for.
Sharon is that the one you use in a treadle?

Can't believe how much better the OLD technology is, so USE YOUR WEIRD ATTACHMENTS, everybody! They are fun!
