Default 1915 Singer Mechanical Sewing Machine

On this machine I used to watch my Grand MaMa sew wool tartan scarves! [ATTACH=CONFIG]438018[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]438019[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]438020[/ATTACH] My friend Karrie cross stitched this sampler for my Designe Studio door.

Are you going to restore that machine? It can be done and it isn't as hard as you think!

Here is mine



She was sitting out in a shed for two years before I got her, and she was a real fright.



I got her in a lot of 5 machines - and I was after two of the others so she was "extra". Now she's part of my collection.

if you have a genuine Singer hand crank on the machine, it's worth $30-$50 on ebay - maybe more than the machine.

There is no one on the Island that does that sort of thing. I even have the cover for it.

It is not done yet. You will need to go see Glenn's tutorial on finishing the old sewing machines.
