I think you have to actually know what a sewing machine LOOKS like to be interested!! |

Billy what do you think? It sure is a pretty machine! Is this one of the better made 15 clones from Japan? Nancy Billy |

I happen to love them because after I use a machine I just hit it take the tension off of the presserfoot and Store the machine. It keeps the spring from loosing any preload or strength while its sitting around doing nothing. In fact I always take the pressure off of the presserfoot no matter what. Billy |

http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_numbers.html Here's another website that you can identify the model type if you do not know the serial number: http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...r-machines.htm You might also be able to gather information from Ismac's website: http://www.ismacs.net/faq.html Hope this is helpful :) Judy I had already looked up the serial number (1917 birthday) but sandman's site had all the info to identify it. |
If anyone wants a cheap black longbed 301, there is one on yahoo group SewItsForSale for $125. She says she never could get the tension right.
