Desperately Seeking Singer....Tailor Top
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, I am looking to purchase a 3 piece Singer tailor treadle machine wood top with metal hardware. If the drawer is available that would be great. I do not need the cast iron treadle base or the sewing machine. I already have a restored base and a 31-15 machine that will be restored. Small steps! The machine and base belonged to my grandfather. It was used to sew canvas material for wings on airplanes he built in North Dakota during the 1920's. This is mainly a sentimental project. In lieu of being able to locate an original top if anyone could help with the dimensions of the three pieces I would consider making a new top and then locating the hardware. I've seen a few on ebay but all have been on the east coast for pick up only. Thanks.

There should be quite a few old industrial electric sewing machine tops out there on the planet. It would have the same foot print as the treadle.

Will keep a lookout for you.

Thanks!

My interest is really piqued here. The top resembles the one I have for my Singer 27 treadle that was trashed when it was delivered to me (another woodworking project in process). What is the footprint of your treadle stand and your sewing machine? I can take some pics of the top I have with measurements and post them for you. If you are handy with wood you may be able to recreate the top you need.

I like the hinged back section. Looks like a good idea for most machines. I'm a fan of large work surfaces.

I am in the middle of restoring one of those tops now. I will try to get the dimensions and a phote of all of the correct hardware tonight.

Thank you very much.
I will try to get measurements of the frame tonight. |

I have that too, I'll measure it as well.
Good Luck finding your top. I'd remind QB members Big Brother / Sister is watching so be careful! Not the Police Jon |
