I've owned my 15-91 for more than 20 years. I had it rewired by a sewing machine repair shop. I've sewn home dec items, women's clothinq, quilts, packing blankets into speaker covers, and other items.

I own one too. As it is new to me I have thus used it for sewing cotton lavender sachets and flannel neck warmers. I am yet to test it out on my unfinished carpet bag.

Right now, I have my 15-91 set up for FMQing only. Before I started FMQing, I used it for piecing also. It is one of those machines that seem to do it all well! Definitely my all time favorite machine!

I have two, one needs to be cleaned and oiled, after the others in line and one is really beautiful and I haven't done anything anything much with it lately. They are both beautiful and I got them for fmq since I had heard so much about how great a job they do. Will find that out
maybe in a month or two.lol

Dkuehn, your machine is really nice. Your quilts look great, just keep going, you have a really good start and have lots of fun. As we like to say there are no quilt "police" so sew what you like and quilt what you like and enjoy!

I have several. One has beautiful black chrome. It is in a desk with the inkwell still in it - nice set up. I have one with the silver stitch length cover, too. There are others needing new homes. I also have a 15 that belongs in a treadle but I have a hand crank on it. I just finished refashioning a jeans skirt for my grand daughter - it sewed through all the layers slick as butter.

I have one in a cabinet that is one step above firewood -- barely! However, the machine is quite beautiful. It has a knee controller, which is very nice. The plug needed rewiring, but otherwise it has tested o.k. My plan is to sew on it this winter. OOPS!! It is now this winter. Better get to it!

I have a refurbished 15-91 that came in a blond cabinet that I had purchased on craigslist from a local hobbyist. I plan to use it on a home-made mid-arm quilting frame for which I have the plans and materials to construct. The quilt frame project is still a WIP currently, so interim uses include:
1) a quilt block that was donated for a QB member's daughter who had cancer at the time.
2) a leather cos-play/renaissance festival costume that I had made for my son (another WIP).
3) up next is a 3-series thread painted canvas mural as a commissioned gift set.

I have one in the art deco cabinet and it needs to be rewired. I will be gifting it to a friend who sews Swing Coats to sell on Etsey. She doesn't know how much she wil like this machine.

:) I love my 1932 Singer 15-91 and wish that I had started using it sooner than just 2 years ago when my 1991 Singer broke a gear!!-- I use it for quilting my tops as it sews easily through the layers and often for my piecing as it is threaded and ready to go --my other machine is a fancy 1978 Kenmore!! -- if my old Singer had zigzag, it would perfect for me!!
