There is some silvering on the front edge of the bed. It is cleaning up so good! You couldn't tell the decals were there in some spots and they are cleaning up real nice. I am really excited! I know that the 66 is somewhat common machine but I think she is beautiful. I will post pictures when I am done. Also how hard is it to find feet for this machine?
thanks

now I am going back to page 345; I wonder if I'll ever catch up lol
So many posts - so many beautiful sewing machines - I can't believe it. Love looking at everyone's treasures.
Debbie ~ I admire a woman that has the patience to read 1000 pages of past posts. Your Singer 66 backclamp attachments are a little hard to find but not impossible. Keep your eye out and occasionally they will turn up on Ebay. You can download a manual off the internet and if not PM me and I can send you a copy. I can't wait to see your pictures!
