I know what you mean. A blue one is next on my list of "have to haves".

Right now I'm admiring them from afar. I saw a green Singer 15 from the 1950's that was inexpensive, and it didn't call out to me to take it home with me. I kept waiting for it to speak, but it just made a silent mumble. But today when I saw MarshaM's black 1930's 15, it just tore at my heart stings. I'd have taken that home in a heartbeat! I don't know just what it is about them, but the black Singers seem to shout out 'take me home!!!' Guess I'm just destined to have black Singers.

This link will take you to a tutorial on how to clean the lint out of the bobbin area and put everything back together again: http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...y-t194930.html
That tutorial was done with my old black pitiful Domestic 15 clone, Freckles, who serves me well.

This is my Domestic 15 clone
I use this one for just about everything. I really like it. The base of it has been beaten to pieces - lots of pits.

Yesterday I cleaned up a New Home. It was configured about like the Singer 15 - I'm thinking I should pull out a Singer 15 and shoot pics to see what the differences are. I really like that New Home. Not all New Home machines are like that. AND somewhere I ran across one that was similar - it had the tension on the side of the machine but it was not the same kind of tension. Not at all alike.

Here is my 15-clone, a "Precision Master" by DeLuxe.
I love the gold and green color scheme, and after hefting this sturdy piece of equipment into the van, hubby named him "The Hulk."

When he first came home with us, he was really filthy. He'd been hiding under a shelf in a junk shop for a long time. Now that he's all cleaned up, oiled up, and put back together, he sews very nicely.

He is a very handsome machine. The green is an interesting touch.

Here is the Singer Clone that my mother gave me. She has a couple of smaller singer clones that I'm going to look at the next time I go to her house which is 5 hour drive from my house.

It's in great shape other than the belt just broke on me so if you know where I can order a belt I would appreciate it. Haven't had a chance to really learn my way around it yet. Was going to do that today when the belt broke.

Everything works on it and it's extremely clean. These are old pictures. Haven't taken pics since I cleaned it up. The bottom can use some work. That's the worst part of it.

are all clones created equally? i want one of the colorful ones such as the turquoise morse. i'm keeping my eye open for the right opportunity.
