Thank those who answered my question about dropping the feed dogs on my red eye 66.

I'll have to look for another vintage Singer Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Terry

The Singer 15-88,201,237 have drop feed dogs. The 237 is a zig zag machine, electric, but you can remove the motor and light; it treadles nicely. You can see a picture of the 237 on page 465.

Well, just keep an eye out - I only paid $100 for my Wilcox & Gibbs with the cabinet (of course the cabinet looked like crap and was painted black). My little New Home T No 3 got thrown in too! Someone obviously took the little machine to put on a shelf somewhere -- that is what people do -- then just left the cabinet! It would really be cool to put that cabinet back together with a Wilcox and Gibbs and make something!

Of course, that section of the state is supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow tonight :shock: :shock: :shock: and that is not even an April Fool's joke!

Great machine at a great price. I believe I'd have to buy it if I were close enough, even though I have enough W & W machines. They are a dream to sew on.

I have sewn on my 9W, WW 9 HC and WW 8 treadle. All are wonderful to sew on. I think folks avoid them because of the scarcity of needles, but the needles can be found and the machines are among the best I've ever sewn on.
