    You all will be proud of me. The grub screw holes in my Singer 319 somehow stripped out when I removed the screws to take the machine out of the table I refinished. I bought a new thread tapping die at Lowes and made new threads in the holes and bought matching screws....not original of course, but it's in the table and works. Woohoo! I was kind of sweating this one and was worried I'd really mess it up. I gave my 319 a kerosene bath today which cleaned it up some what.

    I have chain stitch parts for my 401G and haven't gotten the instructions translated out of German yet - I would love to make it chain and treadle.

    Thank you for helping out, I really appreciate the info. I did have the correct # written, just not smart enough to type it correctly, duh. I was informed that there is a site to find the manual and how to clean from Billy. I just need to jump in and do it. I'll keep my progress out there.
    Have a glorious day!!
    Get a free download of the singer 99 manual here:

    I also thank you for this site, I now have a manual for my fw and Grandma H 66 treadle.

    There is a new TV show starting tonight called "My Collection Obsession" . It is on TLC channel at 10:00pm eastern time. It will be interesting to see what types of things that people collect. I saw a preview and one guy collects vacuum cleaners :-D .
    Watched it -pretty cool. There was a lady who collected shoe paraphenalia (sp?) and had over 1500 or 15000. Can't remember the number now. She had unrealistic expectations of her collections value. The vacuum cleaner collector was a 16 yr old boy which was interesting. The 3rd collector was a lady who collected dolls. Some creepy looking and some lifelike which frankly were just as creepy as the horror dolls. Her DH said she just a strong maternal drive and he was happy when she was obsessing and colelcting dolls cuz she then left him alone. She also had a lifelike baby doll who breathed - her ultimate collectible. I thought she was strange. Dolly Parton collectors were strange but in an okay way - kind of obsessed with her but not in a creepy stalker way. Of course, I suspect some of us might fit that category (strange - ok maybe it's just me) on this board but I'm happy with my collection/obsession as I assume so are many othrs on here. Happy hunting and collecting and they do find us. ~ Chris

    The vacuum cleaner kid was the best - plus he earns money making repairs on the side. The doll lady (and her dolls) was creepy, the shoe lady was living in an alternate reality and the Dolly guys were really obsessed - they picked up and moved to be close to Dollywood? Wow! I wonder what other collections they might have on the show in the future.

    Well, if my kids had a say, I'm thinking I'd be nominated. I can totally see a show dediscated to competive/obsessive collecting of vintage sewing machines. I know some of my relatives are apalled (sp?) and/or flabbergasted by my collection which I know is paltry compared with others on this site.
