Charlee- Perhaps her name should be Lady Margie? She certainly looks like royalty- not a frill out of place. Beautiful!

Margie is a 1912 Singer model 115 born in 1912. Her "skirt" is a cabinet model 21 and had all sorts of goodies in it. You'll notice the (seemingly) requisite 5 or 6 rufflers... LOL 2 of them don't fit this machine! (One is for a White or other top clamp, one is for a 66-1 back clamp)

Margie's serial number, according to the links on ISMACS indicates a model 27 with a date of Dec 20, 1911, but her decals, shape, etc., all say 115! (The "Wings" decals are exclusive to the 115).

Margie is gorgeous, and you are one lucky gal!!

Miriam found a "Treadle Lady" video...the machine in the video is a 66, but the cabinet is the same as mine.

Trish, she's fast! I've gotten a table runner top nearly done with her this afternoon... She's got a stop motion issue that should be an easy fix, and the bobbin winder needs adjusted. Those are the only two things I've found that are wrong with her!
