    Thanks! Like I said though, I've followed all those steps except for the brushes; I was hoping someone could at least give me a little hope that the brushes were the culprit. But I've ordered new...

    That's where I got all the supplies that got me to this point--sadly they don't have anything related to the noise my motor is making.

    Is there a different category? I thought this one for vintage enthusiasts was the right one, but maybe not! The machine is generally solid, just needed some TLC, and I want to try to bring it back to...

    Question Noisy Featherweight--looking for ideas

    I have a Singer 221 I picked up for $50 at an estate sale, knowing full well it'd be a project machine. At this point I have oiled and greased all the appropriate spots, and it spins fairly smoothly....

    In need of EQ5 assistance!

    Hi everyone!

    I was tinkering in EQ5 for a friend's baby quilt (she's actually one of my bridemaids, she's due about a month after my wedding in October, eek!), and I know she's going to love the...

    Thanks for posting that misskira; I ordered the supplies from Amazon (sadly cheaper than buying at the store) and I'm going to take a stab at this tomorrow night! :D It's always nice to stumble...

    One other possibility is that there's a short in your armature inside the motor; that's what was happening to mine. It would start off fine, and then 'down-shift' to what was almost a slower, lower...

    It won't take long to do it yourself if you follow Rain Noe's instructions. The only downside is the cost of materials and parts, but it's about the same as paying someone to do it. I did my 201...

    Heh, I thought it might have been a little too snarky, but people should feel free to take it and modify it if they want to try and edumacate people on these machines.

    How does this look? XD I've sent similar emails out before--there's one lady on CL who won't believe me when I say her 301 without cords or bobbin case and no attachments isn't worth $80!

    If you're going to repaint the machine, you need to strip it down 100%. I used Jasco Paint Remover (http://www.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=102&prodid=209) and it took everything right off. I...
