Why do people do that? And they still advertise it as a sewing machine.

I wonder if they noticed it is missing?

I bet they do when they turn it on. That must be so uncomfortable to sew with...

I haven't tried doing this before , so I hope it works.

I've seen a few of these- not my cup of tea.

This one went up in price, originally it was listed as a featherweight and it was $90.

Crinkle Blackside 128. Possibly harder to find than a featherweight. ;)

It is a centennial FW with table. no 201K there. someone drank the wrong coffee. I have 1 just like that table and 2 black FW machines.

Good to know. I'm still learning the differences between all the black Singers. I won't say they all look the same to me but sometimes.... I'm learning! I'm learning!

It takes time! :) My cousin and I went fabric shopping this week and I kept pointing to machines going "15-90", or "127 Pheasant decal", and she just shakes her head. Can't figure out how I do it. :)

Here are two that will help you get going:

http://vssmb.blogspot.ca/2011/07/vis...g-singers.html - This is a great visual, but I find that he misses some weird things. Like a 15 is immediately identifiable by the tensioner on the face plate. (It can only be a 15 or a 115 at that point)
