Quick question - how does the harp space compare between a 301 and 15-91? I'm still wanting a machine with more space.

I'd certainly be willing to make copies of the book. Do you all have attachments also?? I'm missing the quilter guide. I'd really like that and the "self sewer" that is attached to the gauge (different from the quilter guage).

Could you take a closer photo of the certificate or scan it and send it to me so I can have a copy for my research?
That is a wonderful machine and I am amazed at how well it was taken care of!! You should be very proud.

Ok Miz Johnny and Billy I have been sewing with my New Home Light Running machine posted on page 482! Guess, how I did it since that machine takes a special short needle that is extinct? My husband cut off the top of a Schmetz Microtex Sharp needle. It sews perfect! Of course, I have to turn the wheel as it has no motor! What fun!
Nancy
And I love all the pictures of all the machines! I have been busy sewing all day -- when, I finally get time to look into the shop I had 4 pages to read! Wow! Love it!

Maybe this will help determine model...it compares 15s based on their bobbins

And here's a great review on 15-91

Sharon, I love the looks of this treadle. I don't think I've ever seen one with a coffin top quite like this one. Is it possibly from England?[/quote]
Miz Johnny,
I don't know. I am so pleased with it, makes treadling so easy; no clanking at all. :-D
The people I bought the coffin top from didn't give me any history on it.
