The one you have listed under #15 is made in 1951 look at the emblem on the front of your machine. They are all so nice.

Just lean your leg sideways.
Yes, you can control it with your knee. It doesn't have a pedal with it and if it did I don't know where it would actually plug in. I like it, it's different that is for sure. :)

My 128 has a Bentwood case and has a knee bar that is stored in the case when not in use. You attach it into a hole on the front of the machine and press your knee against it to operate the machine. Is this what yours is like?

This one doesn't have a pedal and it's listed as a 128. Could there be 2 different types of the 128? Or does yours have the lil thing on the side that makes it go instead of the foot pedal too? I'm new to all of this. I just put in the serial # and that's what it shows. Looking it up on the website it's inbetween the numbers and that's what is listed.

Check with Lostn51 about your #15 I just got one yesterday and it is a 15-91. He told me that it can do Free Motion Quilting by undoing a screw under the machine that drops the feed dogs down. Check with him he is a wealth of information and we are lucky to have him on this site so that we can tap into his knowledge. He also told me what bobbins to use and needles.
Just do a search here for lostn51 and Pm him. He will probly know about all the machines you posted.

The pedal is probably mounted inside of the cabinet and the side bar presses against it to make it go. I have a 15-99 like that in cabinet and I really like it. Are you a lucky girl or what with all those machines? LOL
