Default my first vintage machine

Also my first time posting. New member.
I have been enjoying reading what others post since February
But have not been able to log on due to mix up in signing in.
Anyway it has finally been fixed. Thank you Patrice.
My DH says I have saved him $2,000 !! I got interested in
vintage machines by reading on this site how much you all enjoy them and
how well they sew. I have an older Domestic sewing machine and had
been looking at the fancy modern ones.
Met someone who said they had an old Singer sitting in their garage I could
have and see if it worked. It is a 15-90 and was sitting in an old treadle cabinet.
Cabinet was completely warped and was not cast iron--no good .
But my DH was able to fix the motor and cleaned and oiled the machine and I LOVE it.!!
It is so smooth and sews so well. Thanks to all of you for getting us interested.
Now to find a cabinet--and get started in new hobby of rescuing others!!
