I have the chance to pick up an antique, still working Singer model 15-91 with its art-deco cabinet for $20. I know its not a featherweight, but the web sites say that it is a dependable, work horse machine popular with quilters. I saw on eBay where they are selling for $199 and up. Is this a desirable machine? Should I go for it? Thanks for your help!

If you have $20.00. They are a very good machine feed dogs drop for FMQ. They have a large harp very good machine. That is a good price.

Even if not working, won't be that much to get her going again. Yes, grab it.

NOW NOW NOW. You will never regret it. It will sew through everything you can possibly throw at it, and makes a beautiful stitch. GO for it!

It's a great machine and if you change your mind I bet you could make money on your investment.
