Email me if you have questions, I probably know the answers or where to direct you to the best resource.

I cherish mine, I sewed all my clothes in jr. hi, high school

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to check the wires really good. They don't look dry or cracked but I'm going to take a closer look.

I the got the manual, a bunch of bobbins, 2 old Singer oil cans, the little tiny screwdriver that is used in the bobbin area, plus a bunch of attachments that are all rusted and corroded. I'm going to try to clean them up but not sure if they can be helped.

I wish they still taught sewing in school. I'm so happy that I had Home Ec classes from 7th-12th grade (sewing half the year and cooking the other half). I used to sew my own clothes and my kids clothes when they were little. My grown daughter wants to learn to sew so I'm going to try to teach her what I know.

I have an old Singer and cabinet that my Mom bought me for Christmas when I was a teenager. She saved and saved and bought it at a second hand store. I'm going to have to look up what kind it is and when it was born.
