My first vintage machine!

I'm so excited! My church was having a yard sale and a Singer 15-90 was for sale complete with the desk. $60 later and she is mine. I have discovered I have the wrong bobbin case, but that is easily fixed. Woo Hoo!

I learned to sew on a 15-91 back in the olden days. It's a great machine.

I had to order a power cord and a new bobbin case, and she immediately worked. She only stiched a few inches before she slowed down. After some investigation, I noticed the belt was slipping. So I took the belt off and discovered it was fine, but it wasn't exactly round after sitting for who knows how long. I turned the belt inside out and let it rest for 2 days. After re-assembly, she sews beautifully! Yea!
