Thanks, Judy

Dirty1mom, I love this thought!

Thanks

The FW's serial number is on the underside of the machine, and yes it should start with a letter or two letters! Here is where you'll find the birthday date of your machine. http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_numbers.html

The $300 you paid is normal. That is the going rate around here for a FW - and more. You did good.

Can someone tell me what a "set of irons are? Thanks

I'm SEW stoked. I spent the night assembling my 31-15 treadle, in anticipation of using the larger workspace for fm quilting my now basted bargello, and the larger queen-size quilt for DD. I was missing a bracket, so I 'improvised' with two spring-loaded curtain rods that hold up the two extended leafs. I can't believe the extra workspace I got, and I'm anxious to give it a spin. I did a tryout of fm, and that's the last picture of the set: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...03630418ObsSzP It's not perfect, but it is functional AND original. I named my machine Bubba. :)

That would be the black wrought iron stand that a treadle sits on.

Well, Bubba looks quite comfortable in his new treadle!

Bubba looks good. I will have to remember that trick. Are those your fingerprints on Bubba?

Well, looks like I have to quit machine cleaning for a while tonight. My son brought his dogs over so I can dog sit for a "while". I was going to continue cleaning but one was trying to steal the toothbrush and the other one was trying to eat the mothers mag cleaner. My two know better.
