    Miriam,

    The 115 has a rotary hook and the 15 oscillating. They look darn near identical on the outside.

    My hubby has said that about installing windows for years. I don't mean the computer kind of windows either.

    OH I see, but we may need to explain that a bit for some who are lurking. http://blog.sew-classic.com/2009/02/...-vertical.aspx - good explanation.

    Miriam,

    I just was ready to post that link when your edited post came up. Jenny does a great job of explaining things.
    And there is no need to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. Thanks.

    Hi Joe, I am glad you got it apart. They usually come apart easily in the first 24 hours. But sometimes you just have to break them and make new parts.

    I just checked the Ismacs' Singer charts and wonder if I copied the number down incorrectly. I have L6672586 and it doesn't go up that high, (only to the 1 million). I'll have to go back to double check, but I'm wondering if I'm just reading the chart incorrectly? It's my parents and my Dad is interested in the model and "birth year." It's in their basement storage area. I took pictures, but it's with my sister's IPOD and they didn't turn out too good. It has the Sphinx on it.

He is doing a little better today, he can get up on 3 legs, but all the pain medicine has made him sick so I am giving him yogert with a syringe. He will be much better in a few days!Nancy

    I love it when someone explains it better than I can. She has a good website. I am looking for needle guards - affordable and I don't need 100 of them.
