Your sewing machine is a model 128. It was born November 11, 1924 In Elizabeth New Jersey. There were 10,000 made. Hope this helps. Kathie S.

Glenn, about the skipping stitches I found that the thread length regulator has a lot to do with how well the machine sews. Nancy probably knows more about that than I do. Has her machine sewing good now because she made changes on her stitch regulator. Thanks I will try adjusting the stitch regulator. Thanks you guys are great! Glenn Nancy |
I have started to play with the stitch regulator and it is having some positive effects with the stitches but still not even. I will keep adjusting everything until I get a good stitch. At least we are skipping every now and then instead of every other stitch. I really would like to get this machine to sew!! I did notice that the stitch length did not change much regardless where the regulator was placed. Glenn[/quote]
I guess I have this to look forward to when I get mine up and running, lol. Lots of good information! |

Tommie, I really like you car tag. Maybe you will have better luck with your machine than I have with mine. Glenn |
I have 2 vintage machines for which I am attempting to find all the info I can.... and hopefully use. Appreciate anyone's help:
#1) Model 29-4 -- heavy duty beaut. I know it can be used to sew leather.... can I also use for quilting? #2) Serial # G4486669 - another beaut. Treadle. Thank you! |
