Was wondering if anyone has any information on this machine? I am soon to be a proud owner, at least if all goes well, and was wondering where to find some information on it. I am an avid quilted and woudl love to make some quilted horse blankets and this is why I need an industrial machine. I know I am nuts! LOL

Are you sure it is a 33-15? I have a 30-20 which is similar to the 30-15 and they are wonderful :) Is this a modern machine or an older?

I am not sure for I am traveling out of state and a dear friend found her for me. She ahs not updated me yet about the model. I am wondering myself if it is a 30 -15 or a 30 -20. I believe it to be an older model and I dont really care for as long as she works that is all that matters. I cant wait to fin dout more and once I do I can update.

I have a 31-15 and she is fantastic.

I have singer industrial sewing machine. They are very plain not much for decals. These were used in sewing factories many years ago. They are a work horse of a machine. Mine is not sewing right as I don't have a manual for it to figure it out. I feel like selling it now that I have a new machine.

Ok found out it is a 31-15 and it is supposed to have been from the 50's. Will know more tomorrow was sent the pdf for the manual if anyone needs it

Yes! I'd love a pdf of the manual for the 33-15. As soon as I ever get the room for it, I'm bringing one over from my Dad's house. I'd get it now, but there just isn't a place yet for it. Guess I could talk hubby into getting rid of the victrola...

They take regular oiling, and I still need the diagram from my manual to thread it, but it is a great machine for actually quilting your machine. It has a 10.5" harp space, so lots more room to move your quilt through. It is a high shank machine. I got an adapter for mine so I can use my 1/4" snap on quilting foot, or stitch in the ditch foot. It will also sew through anything. I made my denim purse that I carry. This machine sewed through 8 layers of denim like it was nothing. My regular machine couldn't do it.

Ok here you are, sorry it took me so long. Away visiting family and been super busy.

Ok where di you find the adapter? Woudl love that. I ahve no troubles with my Elna 7300 going through layer upon layer of canvas and all but I am sure she would love to work on her class of cottons instead.

This allows you to use snap on feet.

Thanks so much for the manuals, Shelrox, and to you Feathers for the adapter link. I feel my adrenaline pumping, ehaw!

Thank you so much, this is going to be fun learning all the new babies tricks and putting her to work. She is lucky #13 in my home and hope to spoil her rotten

you might find a manual
I've used industrial machines - it is the same as anything but you go faster - learn to control the speed before you do anything else.

Ok I am proud to announce I finally went to my friends today and picked up my baby. Now I need to find a motor for it for the seller did not provide it. I am thinkimg of hooking it up to my treadle for the time being and this way I can get used to him, yes decided it is a male for only a man could come to do a job incomplete! :) From what i can tell so far it is super smooth and ready to go.

It might just do fine on a treadle. Sometimes you can find a motor on CL.

I got a second motor for mine at Habitat for Humanity resale shop for $10. I was planning to put it on a quilting frame, but got a steal on a 9" Brother first.

I have a 31-15 that I inherited from a friend whose aunt was a Home-Ec teacher and took it with her when she retired! I thought of selling it, but after finding this board, I'm going ty try it for FMQ!
