Billy: I have a Singer model 99 made in 1928 and it is pretty well shot. Needs rewiring, probably a new belt, etc. It has been electrified and the motor is attached to the back and always worked great but has not been used in many, many years. Is it worth to get it up and running again? I can have my handy husband work on it but am not sure about the re-wiring part. Was this model made as an electric originally? The motor looks as old as the machine and was just wondering. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!! (no real rush, whenever you have a chance is OK)

But parts are very easy to find for them (I carry most everything you need for them myself) and it uses the standard 15x1 needle.

I thought about making waterslide decals doing just that working them up in photoshop.
I have heard that you can print decals off your regular printer but I dont know.
I do know after searching for hours I have found almost no one selling decals for sewing machines only a few featherweight ones on ebay

I owned I graphics business that I could do that with but for the right inks and to get the quality that you need it is not worth while doing it. You would spend more than you would ever make back.

They do have a lot of great information. I have a friend that either works for that charity or is on of the founding members I am not sure.
