very easy to get accessories - try google searching "slant foot sewing machine accessories"

Thanks, I appreciate the information. I am new to this venture and don't always know where to find what I need. A special thanks to all on the board who are so quick to help. Thanks again.

Is there any idiosyncrasies I should know about with a singer 329k before I buy it?

It was in a Queen Anne Cabinet that was perfect and was very well taken car of. But I did not get it hoping that the price will drop and it was electric and I do not do electrics.

But I did buy a lot of books, fabric and accessories today!!

Did you buy the dressmakers?? I'd like to get rid of the one I have, I think. Can you tell me why I should keep it? I just don't "love" it. Yet. It runs LOUD! Comes with all the cams. The most recent Montgomery Wards ones run so quiet!! I'd keep them over the dressmaker.

No I didnt buy them because they were going to need quite a bit of work but I came really close to buying them.

It looks like it might convert to treadle - see the knock out in the lower front right corner?

Ok now I am confused? That 99 clone has a name other than Singer on the arm, yet it has the Singer badge?

Miz Johnny can you answer that one? Or Billy? Singer never badged a machine, and I have never seen one with any name across the arm made by Singer - accept SINGER?

Nancy

Where is the photo at for me to look at?

Billy

Page 1207! The machine looks like it has the Singer gold badge, but it says Aldena on the arm. It looks like a 99 clone - must be a 99 clone, as Miz Johnny says the badge probably doesn't say Singer - it just looks like it is a Singer badge?

Could someone tell me if this is a good price for the machine and cabinet. I can't go look at it and will have to have my bff look at it since she lives nearby the seller.

Thanks!

Just found out that the owner on the above listing has offered the machine and cabinet for FREE. I just sent an email claiming it (hopefully) and emailed my best friend and told her to go pick it up for me!!!! Pray and keep your fingers crossed for me (if it's meant to be mine!!)

Hoping....not quite doing happy dance yet!! Will post with outcome!
