  1. Well that cabinet was made for the White embossed machine made by the National sewing machine company . As far as I know that is the only machine to come in that cabinet .
  2. Nyegem76 : It was made by the National sewing machine company . I do not remember the year . It should say National on it someplace on the underside of the machine or along the front edge . On these m...
  3. I would love to be able to come see it , but we are too far away . We live in S/W , Missouri . My eyesight is bad and I do not drive out of town by myself . My husband works half days and sometimes ha...
  4. That is my dream machine and cabinet . Just Beautiful !!! I wish I could see one in person .
  5. Thank you .
  6. I saw the one on E-bay . Mine is a bit different . The feet were not the same and the sides on mine are more ornate . I even e-mailed the seller and they did not know any more than I do . I have also ...
  7. Well I had my plant stand cleaned up and found some markings on it . Is there anyone out there that knows anything about a company called " Art Specialty Co." of Chicago , ILL . ? I can not find any i...
  8. I pieced one quilt top on it . You can see the blocks in the photo . But I quilted it on my big quilting machine .
  9. I know this is old by looking at it . It came from an elderly neighbors estate . I have lived by her for 20 years and it has always looked as it does now . I am thinking maybe it is from the 1800's...
  10. Bernadette : I am restoring a New Home sewing machine for a customer . I have been looking on the internet for information and a picture of one like it and I have been unable to find out much about it...

  12. Bernadette : Thanks I could not read the first number or letter . What is it ? vintage4me : If the machine you saw was in a treadle cabinet and the cabinet was in half decent shape with all the part...
  13. It looks to me to be a machine made in Japan . A copy of a Singer class 15 . They made all sorts of them under many different names in different colors and designs . They are good machines . Look on ...
  14. It is either a 127 or 128 Singer . I do not remember which . I think it has to do with the position of the bobbin winder . If the first number of the serial number is an 8 according to the Singer char...
  15. The picture is so small it is hard for me to see . However it looks like a slide plate from a Singer model 127 or 128 might fit your machine . I do not know about a manual . The top tension is what i...
  16. How neat !
  17. I have one just like it . Nice machine .
  18. Francis : The model # is not all that important . What is important is the shape of the part that goes into the body of the machine . ( The part you took out . ) I may have a tension assembly that wi...
  19. fortapache : I have at least three of them . One was the very first machine I ever bought for myself with my first job out of high school . It is a treadle White . I even made my wedding dress on it b...
  20. You did not get hurt bad at all . Nice machine . It did not start out as an electric machine however . It started out as a treadle . I have several of these machines two of them have been put into a c...
  21. According to the Singer web site your machine was made in 1909 . It started out as a treadle machine . Someone has put it into a case and put a motor on it .
  22. Erikj: An antique guy might be able to appraise it if they see it in person . Also are you sure that you read the Singer charts correctly ? Some people do not understand them . If you give me the seri...
  23. I did some research and I believe your machine is a Singer 201-2 model . The green machine that I restored for my friend was not the same model . Her machine was a 15- 125 . The difference is that on...
  24. I hate to be the one to tell you this but your grandmother's machine is not a Featherweight . A Featherweight machine is a 3/4 size portable machine and has a bed that folds up on the left end . This...
  25. It all depends on the condition of the machine . What condition the decals are in , if the machine has any rust or not . How dirty it is . If it is missing parts , paint . Does the head move smoothly...
  26. Yes I did , It still did not work . My e-mail address is : earthworms@sbcglobal.net
  27. stefdesign : I tried to send you an e-mail at that address and I got a message saying that it was an invalid address .

  31. Nice find . These are every bit as well made as a class 15 Singer and will last a long time . I have my grandmother's and I love it . It will sew just about anything I throw at it and I love the color...
  32. I have gotten machines in similar condition freed up , and the rust removed and the machines sewing again . It just takes a little time and know how to do it . There is a group on the net with people ...
  33. Pretty decals .
  34. kygurl32 : I forgot to tell you even though the cabinet your machine came in is stamped 1968 , I believe the machine itself was made in the 1930's . Someone could have put it into the newer cabinet fo...
  35. Great find ! These machines are known as a clone of a class 15 machine . I have my grandmother's . They are great little machines and every bit as well made as the Singers or Janomes plus they have d...
  36. It is from a buggy or a sleigh . A seat this fancy would not have been inside of a car .

  40. momof3 : Look on the internet at : shopsew-classic.com , you should be able to find a belt for your machine there at a reasonable price .
  41. antiquesandcollectibles38 : I asked my husband if he remembered where we got our tins . He said one of our tins has been in his family for a very long time and the other one we found at a yard sale ....
  42. I have two of these boxes just alike . I do not know for sure just where we got them . One is not in very good shape but the other one looks about the same shape as yours . We keep them just because w...
  43. moh85 : There should still be some pull on the top string . It should not just pull through without any resistance at all . I would try and dry up some of the oil you put on the disk by running some ...
  44. moh85 : If the thread ( string ) is looping on the underside of the fabric you are sewing on that means that the top tension of your machine is too loose . If it is looping on the top side of the fabr...
  45. moh85 : I have seen shuttle bobbins like yours on a website called Treadle On . You have to join the group but it is free . People there only use treadle or hand crank machines like yours . Someone th...
  46. Marko : That looks like a very nice machine . I can not tell you much about this machine . However make sure that your needle is in the machine correctly with the flat side at the top of the needle ...
