Wow, you had a wonderful Singer 15 machine hiding in your house. You can even FMQ on that machine. You just have to loosen a screw. I haven't tried that yet on my 15-90 but one of these days. I just bought mine about two months ago and thought I had found a real treasure. Hope you think so too.

I'm so glad to see your photo. It reminded me that I have my late mother in law's Singer which is just like it. I've been using it as a table and forgot that it was a sewing machine. LOL Thanks!

When Grandma moved to live with my aunt about 3 years ago she asked if I'd keep her sewing machine for her because there wasn't really room for it and she couldn't use it anymore because of her eyes. Told her of course I would and when she wanted it I'd bring it to her. Didn't really consider it "mine" so guess that's why I'd forgotten about it. I don't think she'll be using it anymore because her eyes have gotten so much worse and I'll let her know it's in good hands and will be taken care of just like she did. I cleaned it up some yesterday and oiled everything. Can that machine sew!!!! WOW!!!! It's like getting out of a Volkswagen and into a race car! :thumbup:

So what screw do you loosen and for what reason? There's no doubt in my mind I have a true treasure and every time I sew or quilt with it I'll think about her. :-)
