    I have my husbands grandmothers Singer treadle. I refinished the cabinet YEARS ago, but not sure I ever used it to sew, even to play. I just purchased a new belt. (I cut to size w/ 1/2 inch overlap. Now I need to punch a hole in the leather to connect the belt). I also had the machine serviced and oiled.

    I am trying to determine the exact model 127 or 27. It has "vibrating shuttle". I thought I had the manual, but when I went to read about the bobbin I found the manual was for a Singer No. 115, which has circular bobbin. I need to know how to wind the bobbin/shuttle, and how to take out the shuttle.

    I can purchase a copy manual from:

    Does anyone have a manual to share?

    We are having a quilt show here in town in 2 weeks, one of our vendors is called Feathers and Cranks, she sells very pricey fully restored featherweights and hand cranks. I don't have her info here, but I will check w/her to see if she has any spares, if so I'll post her info for your.

    My brother in law just called from a yard sale in Eastern Oregon...he just bought me a 1946 15-90 (? exact model is questionable, I'm guessing, sight unseen...but know the serial number) for $5...no case...no problem there...says "Yeah, the decals are good, I guess. It's a black Singer, do you want it or not?" :lol:

    Well, yeah! ;)

I will also have to relocate the serial number and age of my treadle. It needs a new belt so I have not sewn with it yet. I have been making a lace cloth for it on my more modern embroidery machine. I enjoy this machine sitting in my living room.

    :-D Maybe you will find one one day. I stumbled on it while on a trip to Seattle. We always look at craigslist for other cities when we are going to be traveling.
