Here is a picture of a 15-125 for sale on e-bay for $250.00. Very neat looking machine.

I took the motor off my 15-90 (needed new wiring), changed the hand wheel to a spoke wheel, and put it in a treadle. I'm so happy that I did.

I got one last month at a thrift shop for $20.00 in a cabinet with extra feet also.

Nope...it didn't come home with me, either! LOL

I thought if I knew the model then I could find some info on-line before driving to another town. Thanks, Debbie
After searching yesterday ALL afternoon on line & asking Billy & others on the board what they thought of a machine that I had found on Craigslist. I bought it today & have been cleaning it up in my kitchen. It is a Singer 15-125 and the feed does drop for FMQ. I was told by several people that a 15-125 is the sister machine to the 15-91 just in a "light green dress". I had been looking for the 15-91 when I spotted this machine. The young man that sold it to me for $60 had recently bought a house where the furniture & odds & ends were left in it. He didn't know anything about the machine. Neither do I, but I am going to have fun learning. I tried to test the sewing and I think the bobbin tension is off. I hope that I can fix that by reading the manual. Yes, the original manual and a few attachments were in a drawer! Yippee! Although, I have no idea what the attachments are...ha. I do need to find out what type of darning/fmq foot and walking foot that I should buy to fit this particular machine. Thanks to Billy & everyone that gave me their advise. Pictures are below. Isn't she pretty?! Debbie

Hi Billy, speaking of a 201, could I order a part for my 201 from you? I think it is called a thread guide and it goes just below the needle clamp. Thanks, Loraine
