Tommi, I understand that Kansas City is being hit by bad weather again. Are you all right? Kathie. S

I have an old dressmaker I may try and measure. It's too pretty to just sit around my house.
Two sets of hinges, btw, so both sides unfold. 8-10 inches on the right "wing" and regular size on the left.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
try Montgomery Ward or Sears or something other than Singer

I got this yesterday. I didn't know FW had this attachment it also fits a 15. I also got a monogrammer and with these came two buttonholers which had extra cams. A bag of side clamping attachments and a box of the old singer bottom clamping attachments. Also in the box were three bags of commerical bobbins metal. A book on how to make your own clothes patterns. Pretty good haul I think. So glad to get the monogrammer.

Great haul Trish! I think you have the slant needle monogrammer. It looks just like the monogrammer I use with my Rocketeer 503a. I have never seen the Darning attachment, quite interesting. Congratulations on your haul! I am so busy looking for machines when I am out doing yard sales that I forget to look for things like that.

If anyone is interested here is a nice 15 clone on Shop Goodwill. There are no bids so far. It looks like it is missing the foot pedal and cords, but those are easy to get from your local repair shop. It has the knob for dropping the feed dogs.

Yes, nice haul!

Do you own a Singer 15? I just located a Singer 15 with a serial number that dates it to 1910. The thing that attracts me is that it is a red eye. I don't know who in the shop has a 15, do you? Wondering what a good price is for it also? Questions, questions... :shock:

If anyone is looking for a workhorse of a machine - this one is IT! I have the exact same one and have had it since 1959 and it's my main squeeze - will sew anything (within reason). Don't hesitate on this - you'll love it!!!
