You did an excellent job finding a machine with all those attachments for that price. The cabinet is very nice too. I have not used my button-holer yet, but I understand that they make one of the prettiest buttonholes. I saw someone's test run of making button holes on a blog and it was very pretty. I have that cabinet model; I took mine apart to put on a treadle. Happy to read that you found what you were looking for and more.
Enjoy!

Does anyone on here happen to have a 403 machine manual? If so would you be so kind as to let me have a copy of the pages that show how to operate the fashion disc? I have the machine and some discs but can't get to to work.
I would apprecate it very much thank you.

Hi Trish,
If you join the Yahoo group :Vintage Singers, there is a free manual for the 401, pretty much the same machine and the instructions on how to use the cams is the same.
I tried to put the url for the Yahoo group in this message and for some reason its not allowed.

I am a long time fan of the Singer buttonholers because they make exact buttonholes everytime and you can adjust the width to accommodate thick buttons. I was disgusted with the buttonholer on my Janome 6500 machine because it wouldn't handle thick or large buttons. Guess what? My ancient old Singer buttonholer that is older than I am will fit my Janome machine because they are both short shank machines. Just lower your feeddogs on your Janome, attach the buttonholer and long wide buttonholes are yours! It even makes buttonholes in denim and upholstery fabric for my bags without complaining or bunching. I am in love with my buttonholer!

I collect antique sewing machines. I love them all. I use most of them. I posted a picture of a fw table. Wasn't sure how to post it on here, I posted it on the main page.
I'll post one here for you too. My husband reconditioned it. He reconditiones the sewing cabinets.
