Thanks! Like I said though, I've followed all those steps except for the brushes; I was hoping someone could at least give me a little hope that the brushes were the culprit. But I've ordered new...

Is there a different category? I thought this one for vintage enthusiasts was the right one, but maybe not! The machine is generally solid, just needed some TLC, and I want to try to bring it back to...

Question Noisy Featherweight--looking for ideas

I have a Singer 221 I picked up for $50 at an estate sale, knowing full well it'd be a project machine. At this point I have oiled and greased all the appropriate spots, and it spins fairly smoothly....

In need of EQ5 assistance!

Hi everyone!

I was tinkering in EQ5 for a friend's baby quilt (she's actually one of my bridemaids, she's due about a month after my wedding in October, eek!), and I know she's going to love the...

Thanks for posting that misskira; I ordered the supplies from Amazon (sadly cheaper than buying at the store) and I'm going to take a stab at this tomorrow night! :D It's always nice to stumble...

One other possibility is that there's a short in your armature inside the motor; that's what was happening to mine. It would start off fine, and then 'down-shift' to what was almost a slower, lower...

It won't take long to do it yourself if you follow Rain Noe's instructions. The only downside is the cost of materials and parts, but it's about the same as paying someone to do it. I did my 201...

Bah. Well, at least my letter's more accurate than their information! Didn't most of the 15 clones come about in the 40's? I was taking a stab at when the highest density of the machines started to...

Heh, I thought it might have been a little too snarky, but people should feel free to take it and modify it if they want to try and edumacate people on these machines.

Maybe I'll make a bunch of...

How does this look? XD I've sent similar emails out before--there's one lady on CL who won't believe me when I say her 301 without cords or bobbin case and no attachments isn't worth $80!

If you're going to repaint the machine, you need to strip it down 100%. I used Jasco Paint Remover (http://www.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=102&prodid=209) and it took everything right off. I...

Red Eye Decals?

I'm curious to see if it'd be possible to recreate Red Eye decals. Does anyone have a Red Eye with really good decals they'd be willing to take copious numbers of pictures of? They'd...
