yes - get a T shaped feed dog plate

For those of us still learning the ins and outs of a slant machine (like me), would you be so kind to post a pic of the T shaped feed dog plate. For some reason I just cannot picture what you are describing.

Thank you and blessings to you,
Sandi
I must be having a blonde senior moment.

Sandi, and anyone else interested in the Singer Monogrammer for the slant shank machines. This is it - pictured on the ISMACS site. For my 503a, I had to get the 161825 plate, but I had no trouble finding the right one on e-bay.

Hope the pictures help. http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ttachment.html

whoa I was wrong (blush) the monogrammer needs zigzag so won't work on 404 or 301 - should work on 401, 403, 500 or 503 though do look up the feed dog cover (above)

Thanks everyone for the information on the monogramer. I'll be looking for one now. I sew more than quilts so it will come in handy.
Thanks again.

Now that is a 15 clone! See where the tension disk is located on the front of the machine! Just looking at that machine I would say "made in Japan - 15 clone," but it says it was made in NY? Interesting, I never heard of a 'State' company. I calculated the shipping to California and it would be $45 - so that machine is heavy! It almost looks like a 99 with a 15 tension disk.

Trish it is nice to put your initials on your projects for the future generations! I always put my name/initials and year on my quilts/projects just so the kids will know I made those things. Besides, they have quilts from the 1700's - it is amazing that our projects will outlive us - so for posterity it is nice to have a date and name/initials on each project!

My husband asked me why I "need" a 3/4 size machine, (hadn't yet told him I want one that does the decorative stitches too) - said something about how I can only use one at a time anyway. I reminded him he can only drive one truck at a time - and since he just bought another one... I figure his trucks cost 20x what my machines do - and take up a whole lot more space.

I have a white featherweight that is missing the red S badge. Is it possible to get a replacement for it?

I am looking at a Kenmore 158.1503 on ebay. Right now with shipping it's at about $75. Looks to be in decent shape, and has a few cams included. Does this seem reasonable (considering I'm in the middle of nowhere and shipping is $44)? And, is it possible to buy other cams to get more stitches?
