I found that when searching for the singer 500 service manual.
It is jpg (photo) files but you can expand each page and print it or save it to file. :)

When that little girl is old like me and that machine is still running, somebody is still going to be trying to figure that one out. 'oD

Then this weekend I got a great deal. I went into the thrift store that helps support the childrens hospital that I work for and found another one; it's not a featherweight but it is small with the wooden hood on her. I will take her sn # later and see when she was borned. With my employee discount I paid under 30. for her. These are my first two babies and both together were around 300; not bad in my book and they are in great condition. I have to find a manual for each and the first one comes w/attachments and the instructions for using the ruffler that came with it. Thank you for your imput.

Ok, I was as few pages behind and I think this got answered - you have the 128?

Here's a couple of designs that google so kindly found...

The last one is applique but thought someone might be interested. I'll have to look for embroidery designs for my old machines so I can make covers...all of my Janomes have their own quilted cover!!

Well, I bid on the Jones machine, but we lost our internet for a few days so I did not get that one! It ended up selling for $62 plus shipping - not bad.
I have been piecing with my new Morse 15 clone (page 929) and I am in love with that machine! It is so quiet - yes, Monica I am using an electric machine! LOL! And, Yes, I perfer my treadles most of the time too! I like to make something with each machine I have! I am still in awe of the workmanship that went into this machine compared to a Singer 15! There are so many features that just are above and beyond the Singer - like the dial on top to drop the feed dogs, the push in oil places instead of holes, the pressure foot release button, and just the overall beauty of the machine itself! I am in love with the clones!
We also got my 99 clone - the 'Made in Occupied Japan' machine that was packed so crappy fixed. DH had to glue and put the cabinet back together. Anyway, I have also been piecing with that machine. It sews perfect too. Also a very well made machine, but not in the same class as the 15 clone!
