Since this my first vintage machine that I want to actually use I have a question about electricity.
How do I know that the electrical cord it good to use and that I won't either start a fire or electrocute myself? Yes I'm a sissy. The cord is not frayed, my only concern is that the prongs seem to be a little loose but that could be normal. I have the thing properly threaded and got the bobbin thread up after figuring out that the needle had been put in incorrectly. I guess that's why it seemed to be loose and moving back and forth easily. Figured it out when I went to you tube to see how to thread the machine.
Thanks again Leon for letting me know that it is a Singer 15 clone, that helped me find threading instructions.
