check this one out! They did a great job on restoring her, but why add the electric?
http://www.etsy.com/listing/72764663...campaign=Share |
At first I was thinking what a waste of a treadle table then I realized they were making it both--it can be used as a treadle and electric. I actually have both an electric 15-91 and a 15-96 which is actually a 15-91 on a treadle! (2 separate tables) Maybe they were thinking it would save space?

Ok, Im a little confused, (the following is a cut-n-paste from the description of the listing) what does this mean :
Sew in style with this wonderful reproduction, of Singer Model # 15-91. "reproduction"? So thats not an original, is a reproduction? |

So thats not an original, is a reproduction? if it were a repro, I am sure it would cost more than $395...At that price I am not sure what they are selling...it is pretty though..and could be very practical if you live where you lose power a lot...like OK! I contacted the guy to ask if it were really a repro or maybe a "rebuilt" model! |

I contacted the guy to ask if it were really a repro or maybe a "rebuilt" model! Just look on CLs for an old Singer machine that you can clean up and use. There are many all metal vintage machines that need a new home. I have a Singer that is a 122 years old that sews a beautiful straight stitch. And then I have one from 1953, that is my favorite since that lady sews beautiful stitches and treadles very quietly. Here is the picture of the 1953 Singer 201K in treadle. I just took the external motor off of her and dropped her into a Singer treadle cabinet. I picked up cabinet and treadle for free off of CLS and the machine just cost me $30. Have fun treadling! |
I live in OK...on CL IF and I do mean IF you can find any sewing machine on there, they want HUGE amounts of money for it and it usually one that has been left out in a barn for years!
I would love to find one like you manage to find on CL or on the CURB.... |

I would love to find one like you manage to find on CL or on the CURB.... Or start looking on the Shopgoodwill site for cheap deals. Ask friends or neighbors if they know of anyone. Be patient..the machine will find you. I always say that the machines find you..just like an orphan cat or dog. Pictures of the National Two Spools direct from the barn before cleaning and after in use making a Christmas table runner. |
