Congratulations. My favorite decals and yours are beautiful.

There are a couple of manuals for the 27 at manualslib. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/36...ger-No-27.html and https://www.manualslib.com/manual/12...Singer-27.html

It looks like you have most of the attachments - Most puzzle boxes are missing the screwdrivers and stiletto. It looks like you are probably missing the seam guide. I believe it is a Style 11 and some images can be found at http://needlebar.org/main/puzzles/style11/index.html A couple of attachment manuals can be found at https://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollec...0528/index.htm and https://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollec...0675/index.htm

You want to use sewing machine oil - Not 3-in-1 nor WD-40. Some here have used Tri-Flow.oil.

Belts can be found many places online, as can long shuttle bobbins. I can't remember where bkay has done business with. Where I used to get my parts for vintage machines, is no longer in business.

Needles for the 27 are the same as modern machines. Most are Universal point, which are supposed to be for knits or wovens. However, I think if you are working with woven quilting cotton you will probably be better off with "Sharp" point needles. From my understanding, the part number for Singer 'regular point' are numbered 2020. Schmetz needle system is 130/705 and/or HAx1. Of course, match needle size to the thread you are using.

Do not use cleaners or water on the machine as it can (probably will) ruin the decals. It is suggested to wipe down the machine with sewing machine oil and cotton balls or old cotton t-shirts. Then after letting it sit a bit, can wipe down with a clean old cotton t-shirt.

Have fun with your machine.
