    what is that knob right above the bobbin winder...does something have to be dis-ingaged before it will work like on a modern machine. you are so lucky, I would love to have a treadle, don't know where I would put it.LOL

    What a beauty! It reminds me of my grandmother's machine. Enjoy the process of getting it back in shape to use!

    Ahh, I thought the same thing but found a manual on line for this model. It is the stitch length adjustment knob.

    Me too! Wouldn't that make a drop dead gorgeous quilting design? I plan on redrafting it bigger and quilt it onto a quilt.

    Here is a singer website where you can order the manuals. I did so for my machine from 1912.

    Lostn51 restores old machines. PM him and I bet he'd have some good advice and links to resources where you could find what you need.
