It was too hard to resist. I made the guy an offer. I hope he takes it or at least makes me a counter offer. It doesn't have a manual, or any of the "extras" that come with a featherweight. I've got my fingers crossed.

HELP!

Looking for a way to make a 1/4 inch seam with a 15-91 Singer.

I thought we bought 1/4 inch foot for a Singer 15-91 low shaft as it was sold to us as such but it definitely is not a 1/4 inch when on the Singer 15-91. How do I obtain a 1/4 inch for piecing? Or do I need to resort to tape? The foot was sold for both a low shaft Singer 66 treadle and an electric low shaft Singer 15-91. They are supposed to both use the same feet. Where we told wrong by the seller? It makes a wonderful 1/4 inch for the Singer 66 treadle. The foot attaches with no problem on the 15-91 but the needle hits too much to the left and even nicks onthe metal of the foot.

Me too, cause here's the plan. If I do get it for what I offered, maybe I can sell it for more and then I will have the money to send you my 1948 for a repaint in my all time favorite color: ORANGE! I'm still looking at vehicles for ideas. I'm kinda thinking of the PT Cruiser. What do you think of this one? Is it even an option? Also, I believe I mentioned black decals. Do they come in white? Is white even an option (custom maybe). Boy, watch that price go up.

Use either the bed-mounted stitch gauge found with most accessory sets or one of the advertising magnets (rectangular and flat) on the bed the proper distance from the needle.

If you really want a 1/4" foot, the "Little Foot" works just great, and there are a number of others that do as well. Alphasew has a couple that I have used. I have also used the ankle from a Viking 6000 series and the 1/4" snap-on foot on my SS Singer machines. I don't really understand why the foot you bought would work on your 66 but not on a class 15 machine. Should work on it as well.

On mine I use the 2 screws that hold the right side of the plate down. gives a nice 1/4 seam when ya line edge of ya fabric up with the screws.

Thank you, I was playing with it today and it stitches a good straight stitch and also let me free motion quilt with a pretty good looking stitch. Going to practice free motion on it and hopefully quilt a quilt on it. I am still just learning free motion so we will see. I like that the throat is a good 9 inches and also high from bed of machine to top. Roomy, compared to some machines. I've sewed for more than 40 years but just started quilting approximately 4 years ago.

Thanks Again

I just got 3 new singers today. I will post pics a little later buy here are their dates.

They are all Singer 66's

First one it is not a treadle but it doesn't have a motor on it either. The guy told me it will need a new fly wheel to make it into a treadle.

2nd This one has a motor and the cord to plug in but not a foot peddle I am going to look over it to see whats going on
with it and see if it is worth getting a foot peddle for it.

The 1st and 2nd one were both made in Elizabeth NJ.


The 3rd one is a Singer red eye 66 with a 6 drawer cabinet that is ohh so pretty.
The decals are wonderful on it but I cant find any information on it.
I know that it was made in Wittenberge, (Prussia) Germany sometime after 1908 but Singer says they lost the records.
I dont really care it is beautiful.

Here is this ones info
