I have what I think is a Minnesota D model treadle machine. I say D model because the serial number starts with a D. It belonged to my grandmother, who got it used in the late 40s or early 50s. How can I find out more about the manufacturing date and repairing the machine? I have discovered the thread and have been reading through it, but starting from the beginning it will take me a while to make it through all the posts.

My latest finds. The Singer 15-125 is a early birthday present from DH.

The 15 clone I picked up at our church rummage sale for $20. The poor thing has only been used three times. Her owner found out that sewing was not her thing, DD used it once and decided she didn't like to sew either.

Since I bought her, I've had glowing reviews about FMQ on the 15's, but I don't have a 15, I have a 66. Since the 66 will be my only vintage machine for a while, I might as well learn how to FMQ on her since it was the reason I purchased her. Also, if I have to buy a feed dog cover or something, are there boardmembers out there I could contact about the part before resorting to other websites?Thank you, Melissa

Yes they make a darning plate that goes over the feed dogs and then you can FMQ all you want! :D Billy

Billy, is this a "T" shaped plate? Just curious because I have one and no idea what it is. Thanks in advance. ~ Chris

That will work, it was for the buttonholer but I wont tell if you wont!

Very pretty machines! I've been drooling over the 2 tone green 15-125's forever. Great prices too.
