Haha....I sent them an e-mail Nancy. They're nuts if they think they can get that much for a machine that may need partial assembly and who knows if it works. They live in my town too...maybe I should get their address and go school them. :>

Wow, I feel like I robbed the people I bought mine from. $1. It was $2 but I called it old, and "would you give me $1?" Go figure.

Ok, I have a question. I do have some 15 clones and then I have two other machines. They are made in Japan and take class 66 bobbins, not the class 15 bobbins like the 15 clones. So I'm wondering if I call them 15 clones or 66 clones? The reason I ask is that their threading is more lke the 66 than the a Singer 15 with the thread tension being not on the side plate but facing the operator. I'm more curious than anything else and feel free to weigh in. Hopefully, I have attached a photo of one of them.
I have a 99 clone that says "made in occupied Japan," but I haven't found a lot of the 99 clones either. Nancy |

Is this tape do you think? Or do you think the paint has chipped? I would think if the paint were chipped you'd see what looked like aluminum, not masking tape color? Why would someone put tape in these two spots if it is tape??

Weedwoman, I love the bowls too! Those bowls look like after cutting the pieces they are just attached using a satin stitch? Anyway, those would be perfect in any sewing room - they just fit right in!

I have some accessories that came with my little green clone. I know the quilting foot guide, but not sure what the other feet are for. Can you tell me what they are, and what is the best way to clean them up? http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...IMGP2527-1.jpg

The extra belt is nice. The red box contains most of the 100 size 140 needles that came in it, the little pack has 4 100's in it. Since I sent my gson most of my really heavy leather, I doubt I will use them up, lol. I would be happy to share some of those 140s, if anyone needs some. I will be sewing some denim and upholstery fabric, and this looks like it is going to be the perfect machine for it....not to mention it is just as cute as can be, lol. Photo #2 is a zipper foot Miriam uses toothpaste to clean the attachments, I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to! :) |

Just want to share the project I was working on yesterday while chatting (or should I say babbling away) with all of you. I started the layout in morning and pieces sewn together by midnight. Just need to sew rest of strips together. This is going on the back of a quilt that I'm working on right now. Piecing done with my Singer 201.[ATTACH=CONFIG]283364[/ATTACH]

Photo #1 is a seam guide, it attaches to the bed of the machine to butt the edge of your fabric against. Looks like you have a gathering foot there as well.

Wow, thank you. I wish mom would have been around long enough to see me get her going. I am copying and pasting all the responses about her to an email so I can keep the info. I need to get me a manual first, to start. Thanks for giving me the proper name to the spool thingy.
I'm glad that the powdery junk can be removed. There is one of those little felt circles in the bottom of the machine. It's red. I don't know what that liner thing is that you were talking about though. Also, is this a 221 or a 222? I know that 221's seem to have been more popular, and there were more of them. Do you know what the differences are? Nancy |
