Billy, hope I didn't state it wrong... I think you deserve a break! Big time! And, I am so sorry to learn of your daughter's home and five feet of water. I cannot even imagine dealing with that. I will be praying for her and all that it must mean in terms of loss.

IT's me, who has been playing too much being on the Board. And, I need to slow down and get stuff done.

Take care. You know we all love it when you are able to show up. Seems like you have had several plates FULL, of late. May the Lord turn things around for you and your loved ones, soon. :-D

Can it be true... are you saying that attachments for a Singer 15-90 can be used on a FW? How about for a 15-91? I have a 15-91 and a FW and attachments for both. However, I think I have more attachments for my 15-91

:-D
I think you should test them out

randa, does it look like the finger is out of the notch? if it is, you must get it back in, otherwise the thing will spin and it shouldnt. i wonder if the throat plate is stuck somehow. it should come off, maybe it needs persuaded.

Picked up a button holer today at a flea market. All the parts are there, does have some water stains on the box and instruction booklet, but for $3 had to have it. I don't have a need for it, so if someone wants it for the $3 and some postage, first one to PM me for an address and send a check and it's yours. Oh ya it's a Singer part #381116, no rust on the parts.

I'm still sorting my way through machines...deciding who will stay and who will be adopted out....But, as I was trying to decide between the two 99k's I realized that the serial numbers on both machines are from the same run....just 3620 machines apart....What are the odds...one machine was bought at auction here in Pratt and the other came from a yard sale in Ft.Riley....so for now, they both stay....both machines came from the run authorized on 11/23/55...and both of them are in their original cabinets :D

This belonged to my great aunt and it was given to me when she passed away over 20yrs ago. Back then I had no interest in sewing. I just took her out, and thanks to some help from Billy she is up and running! Thanks again Billy, here she is!

The manual states Automatic Zigzagger (part No. 161102) for Classes 15, 191, 201, 221, 222 and 1200. So, that mean 15-90, 15-91, 201, and FWs. I will try them out on my 15s and 201 and let you know.

Pretty lady! Glad you got your great aunt's machine fixed and going to use it, now it's yours. Enjoy!
