    Congratulations Caroline, you have your work cut out for you on that one, but it looks like it would be fun to get back into the shape it needs and wants to be in. Be sure and post some pictures of your progress with it.

    I need to find a standard OEM straight stitch presser foot for my White made DRESSMASTER. I believe it is a
    Rotary Dressmaster 127M.
    Here's a pic of it:

    It didn't have a foot when I bought it so the one that's in it is one I had. It's not quite right so although it works it doesn't work quite right.

    Probably everyone except me knows the answer. What is a Singer 15 with a potted motor, no 201 plate? There's a number of them on ebay.

    A 15 with potted motor is a 15-91 if it is the old body style.
    If it is the newer body with the straighter lines it is a 15-125.

    Charlee,
    Your machine looks just like the 2 I have. Your decals are in better condition, the finish on my working 66 red eye is all alligatored.
