What fun to bring this machine back to life..... it's a beauty. Years ago I took lessons from a tailor and I remember thinking at the time, why didn't this old guy have a newer machine? He was making suits for some pretty famous people... He surely could afford a newer machine. Man, I was so young and stupid. The vintage singers have so much more power to stitch through layers of suiting and coat fabrics and some of the padding added was pretty thick. A newer machine would have balked. I don't have a machine like yours but I'm impressed every time I have a heavy item to sew.... my vintage machines can sew rings around the fancy expensive machine I bought several years ago. What a treasure for you.... enjoy.
