Here is one of the sewing machines I got... She was dirty and seized up.. but after the night... she runs like a dream... Only thing is that I can't figure out to adjust her stitches.. does anyone have a manual or know where I can download one... I am not finding her manual anywhere... cabinet included and all her attachments are here with original warranty card!

WOW!!! I think the antique Singers are beautiful, but not my cup of tea when it comes to decorative pieces. But this machine is RIGHT up my alley!!! Again, WOW! What a find!

If you ever decide it needs a new home, I'll happily take it in. ;)

Wow! With all her dials and gizmos I'm sure she was an expensive machine when she was new. There should be a manual available online since she is a Brother. Good luck with your great find! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
