Billy, I found your tut about cleaning up a machine, but itsays part 2. Was there a tut prior to that? How about geting an old machine out of it's treadle cabinet and taking it apart? Yikes!

Thanks, Marie M. Thanks for the info. I'm interested to see how it sews. I'm going to take my oil, thread, fabric, canned air and new needles to give it a try. We'll see. If it comes home w/me I'll post pictures. Marie M. |

I just carried the 29 pound 128 across the LR now my neck hurts.
Miss No name Leader is in the house. My weight lifter grandson wrapped his arms around the cabinet and carried her in easily. She is very dirty as is the 128. I have my work curt out for me when the weather breaks. She is a cutie. I copied the book so I'm not trashing it as I learn what I need to know. The seller has Singer attachments in with the Leader, so I have a ruffler for both machines. Woohoo! Here we go: The cabinet. Irons very stiff [ATTACH=CONFIG]175928[/ATTACH] My dirty girls. The singer is a 3/4 size machine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]175930[/ATTACH] Miss No Name Leader. The bed decal is a Sphinx. [ATTACH=CONFIG]175932[/ATTACH] |
Nice looking machines. I have a copper badge on my 99 and hubby took my copper cleaner from my pots and pans and now the badge looks brand new. Kathie

Hubby used a small suitcase key and it unlocked the lid on my cabinet. Question on my 99 please. I do not have a manuel and could not get it to print out on the Singer site. Do I thread the needle left to right? There is a small hole in the take up leaver. Do I thread the thread through that? Kathie S.
