If you want a real smooth running 15 go find you a Japanese 15 and then you will throw your Singer out in the yard! IMO they are way better built than the Singer brand and my Universal is my all time go to machine and the only one I FMQ with.Billy

Here is some stupid trivia for you, Ford bought the proprietary rights to the paint from HOK when it was first developed. It was called "Mystic" and was only offered on the Mustang GT. If you owned one of those cars and it was wrecked Ford sent a painter to the body shop to mix and spray the color for them and when he left he made sure that nothing was left behind.

I have been cleaning out "stuff" all day today in preparation for a yard sale next weekend. Cleaning off some shelves in my basement, I came across some boxes I had forgotten about--all full of sewing machine parts. This was part of my "inheritance" from my mother. There are a couple of feet that look like they are meant to attach soutache braid or ribbon, one marked 1/8" and one 3/16". I can't find them anywhere, but am excited to find them anyway--they should be fun.
Thanks, Mom!!
Thanks, Mom!!

I had that problem with the "stop action" knob not kicking the needle "out of gear" with this new handcrank. For that one, thanks to a lot of great advice, was fixed by taking the handwheel off, cleaning, oiling, and flipping the washer over before reassembling it.

p.s. why am I still looking at machines...

I thought I would post pics of my find that I bought last year. It had been in a sewing machine shop as as decoration and had been varnished which had gone yellowy n cracked, so with careful cleaning I have to it nearly back to it's pristine condition, it doesn't look as tho' it had been used much, such a shame.
