    Well Needlebar has great information on decals, but unless you are a member you can't access any of the information. Here is a site from 'Medlibrary" with some of the Singer decals, scroll down to the bottom.

    Thanks for the link! There were a bunch on there I'd never seen before. Now I'm coveting the Ottoman Carnation...

    Harp is 10 1/2" or so wanted it for FM,really couldn't justify $$ for my beginning quilting adventure. Thank you all for the nice comments,I just started looking at older machines after I read the vintage board site. 3 machines in 1 week,they were all still being used by a lady in 80's she's still doing some specialty upholstery projects. 31-15 was $150.

    from the looks of Ebay $150 is a good deal.

    You're making me drool here! I'd love to have the Necchi! A treadle no less!!

    Yeah! Isn't that a pretty one! I'm too far away to nab that one. :-( I do hope the machine finds a nice home.:)

    I just got a featherweight machine - Very happy it is a 1947 year and is in great condition. Problem is I can't get it to sew. Motor runs good - even the light works. The thread either breaks or comes out of the needle. I changed needle, rethreaded the upper thread and reloaded the bobbin. My guess it the tension but not sure how to fix it.
    I kept reading how great the machine is so I hope I can get it working! Any help will be apprecitated.
