Sometimes it's just a problem of the needle in wrong or needle being threaded in the wrong direction. Hope that's all it is :D

Hey folks! I was wondering if any of you brainiacs know what model # this Singer is? I've never seen one like it??

What is the most rare decal for the Singers?

Here's a pic of my pheasant 27. I haven't given her the spa treatment yet.

Beaniekins, the Pheasant decals are extremely hard to find in decent shape! I had one 27 with the Pheasant decals, but the decals were almost completely gone. I would love to find one as nice as yours!

Thank you! I have to admit though, I'm jealous of how easily you guys in the States can find Red Eyes. I have been looking for a year and only ever seen one, and it was 14 hours away from me! Plus, the seller wanted waaaay too much for it. The most common decal around here for the older machines is by far the Sphinx. For the 'newer' vintage machines, there are a fair number of the plainer, mostly black ones.

They seem to be plentiful around here...would you like me to keep my eyes open for a nice one for you?

I recently saw a picture of one of these machines but I can't remember which model it is. Do you have the serial number?

And then my wish list is for any attachments that go with this machine. There are machines for sale on line but I can't find any parts. Do I have to buy a whole machine to get a bobbin and case? What to do??? very sad.
peace

Let me look tomorrow morning. I might have what you need.

I'll google that and see what pops up. It's for sale near me and I've just never seen this one before.

Hmmm. I'm not finding anything on a Singer 406.

My latest CL venture, I hope they call and hope DH doesn't ask too hard why a need another machine! maybe if I tell him its for DGD...and it's green... it's a two for the price of one, which won't be a plus in his book. If it's still there, if they call, it's just an hour and a half drive. (I want the green one - Not even sure what the other one is.)

I think that's a Singer 306.
