Monica, you want to treadle everything! I do too, but I just can't bring myself to taking out one of my beautiful machines to put a different machine in her/his treadle!
Sharon, I wish you weren't in Texas! I need help learning how to get even ruffles when using a ruffler! I have tried using my Mother's ruffler for the Pfaff 130 - it works, but I think I am doing something wrong? The ruffler will gather really nicely then get a flat spot then gather again?

Great job! That 66 has to be very heavy with the machine and the wood case! That to me is the only draw back to making the 66 a portable machine!

Here is my newest Patchability, Uncle Sam for the 4th of July! My DIL wants this one really bad, as her son - my 2 1/2 year old grandson glued on the stars!

Oh I need to ad that I did all the decorative stitching on the beard, mustache, and applique's with my 503A Rocketeer!

Help !! Does anyone know what this machine is?? It is listed as a Singer, on Craigslist for $40.00. I don't think it is a singer.

If the machine has a potted motor, it is a 15-91. But if your machine has an external motor (or added motor) than it isn't a 15-91. It could be 15-90 or 15-89. More info to read with pictures of the differences in the machines:
