    If you look at that ruffler that Darcene posted, the way to attach it to the machine is at the back of the attachment, two prongs that slide up around a screw located at the back of the shank instead of on the side like most machines... :)

    Cross stitcher I love it that you saved a whole family of machines! Where are you intending to put them all???

    Billy, guess what, I found a UK supplier of Liquid Gold polish (pourable), so I have one on its way to me. Yeah!

    Thanks Billy, I will be able to give my old Seidel & Naumann a polish when it gets here. It's so frustrating not to be able to get all the stuff you have access to in the USA. Perhaps you should go into the supply business with a cleaning kit we could all purchase! LOL.

    It is a Singer Teach and Sew, # AP 627028. It purrs like a kitten too!!
    Looks like you hit the jackpot with this machine. I hope you enjoy using it. All those attachments! Wow!

    I do not know what to say about the difference between 'old' and 'vintage'. Maybe Charlee or Billy could give us a definition.

    As to finding out the age of a particular machine, there are charts available for some machines on the internet. Singer has an extensive website. And there are others... Other board members have more info than I.

    Old? After 1980...altho that's on the edge of "Vintage".
    Vintage? 1910 to 1980...because like it or not, it's NOT an antique until it's 100 years old...
