That is a Singer 401 (or 401A). One of the best Singers made in the 50's. Does a lot of decorative stitches and can use top hat cams to do more. If you can get it cleaned up and working you will love it.

Isn't this board great? Somebody knows something about everything! Great going Gals!
|

I have 2 of these, and they both suddenly jammed (needles down, can't move them). This was right after they had been in for servicing at what is supposed to be a reputable, knowledgeable dealer. I know it's something simple, just out of alignment - any hints where to go for solutions? I have a very mechanically inclined husband who will give a look when time is not so busy, but I just need to know where to look. Workhorse of a machine, and a steady stitcher. I have had one of these machines for 37 years, and the other was my mother's, so it has been in my family at least 40 years.

Deb are you anywhere near Austin? Northwest Sewing Center on Burnet Rd. is a Singer dealer, and the owner, Mr. Schilling knows all of these models and works on them.

You might check for a small thread in the bobbin area. Might be a very small piece.
