Thanks so much, I will take your advice on getting a new foot control as I don't have a singer treadle base.

If you get the chance to buy a treadle fairly cheap then Do it and pop the little rascal in there you will love it!!

Here is mine in my studios treadle.

Sorry to bother again, but is my machine a 15 (so I will know what foot to order) because it does not have the three prong plug like my featherweight or my 66-16 has.

I was stumped when I could not find any information on the web.
And is my machine the same as yours, yours is beautiful.

All,

I finally was approved on the Needlebar sight and what a wealth of information. I can spend lots of time there and hope to become more knowledgable. But there are a couple of terms i keep seeing in the descriptions of the machines that I am not sure about.

They are "verticle feed" and "vibrating shuttle". Can anyone explain what they mean?

Thanks Lisa

Add me to the list of clueless about certain words! I have no idea of what a shuttle is. I read alot over there and hope to eventually learn about the wonderful machines I have.

Lisa,
The verticle feed usually refers to a Davis machine and the its the way the machine moves the fabric along, with the needle as they don't have feed dogs.
Vibrating shuttle is a mystery to me, even though I have one. lol its a long bobbin machine and I think it moves in an arc from side to side.

Yep you get the prize!!! A VS machine is where the shuttle works in an arc and with its motion it tends to vibrate therefore you have a Vibrating Shuttle machine!!
