It's in a cabinet! That's a good excuse ane you could sell it for $75 if you had too. This is good reasoning to me.

I recently quilted a king size on my 15-91. Wasn't a piece of cake - but it did fit. I love that machine. It sews smoothly, few drops of oil, new needle and off we go again.

after all this great talk about the singer 15-91, i saw this advertisement in my area for the same machine except it is not in a cabinet. i am thinking of buying it (my 2nd vintage if i do). i have contacted the seller to see if it is still available.

would it still be a good deal without the cabinet at this price?

Do you have children or grandchildren that you want to teach? This is a great excuse to get it. I have bought 4 "old machines" in the last year and would like to get at least 2 more because I have 5 grandchildren right now (1 daughter - 1 son-in-law and they would like at least one more and yes this is the first marriage for both of them and yes these are all their children. My daughter tells me this is payback for being an only child - payback is good!! She must like children because she is a school teacher also). I would like to be able to teach them (and they will all want to learn as a team) when they come to visit.

Just depends on where you are. I paid about $120 for mine without a cabinet, but that included the shipping - I found a cabinet at the thrift store for $15 - I have seen a couple here in cabinets for $200 - one had bare wires and no attachments - the other is in good shape, but since I already have one wasn't much of a battle with myself. It's just not something that is readily available here, so the prices are higher - so at $50 I'd say it was a good deal - others regularly see them for much less

If it makes you feel any better, I have collected 20 vintage machines since I got my first FW------7 are in cabinets so now I only look for portables. All of them work and I use them. Needless to say, they are the decoration in my condo! The funny part is, my family seems to understand. My grandaughter loves the FW's and would like to have them and my DSIL loves the larger models.....
