The newest addition to my antique machines !!!! This is a 1920 Singer red eye treadle.....the machine will need a visit to the shop ( wheel won't make the needle go up and down) , but can't wait until I get to treadle away
I'm All Done with step #2 !!!!! Only had to take apart 6 .......Not too bad. I used method 3. It made more sense to me, esp with working night shift, I didn't have to think too hard :) I got my fetherweight to working (Thanks to folks on Vintage Sewing Machines on Facebook ) Steps 1 & 2 done AND ironed.. (the good fairies of ironing did not show up last night ) see... still have the bonus one to iron. Time to hit Netflix and race a movie
This is the first attempted link up of this MQ year !!! I'm hoping it works. I decided to sew the MQ on the Treadle. So far EVERYTHING has been done on it. She is a 1920 Red Eye Treadle, She sews really well and is very smooth.
So several months ago I Scored a Singer Featherweight 221. It just needed some cleaning, oiling, and some TLC and off it went ! I was just missing some "parts" The Lady that I bought it from said that she'd look around the house and see if she could find the parts. I went back to the shop, parentals went to the shop....nothing. SO yesterday I swung buy for one last try, Guess what was waiting on me !?!?! rest of the Parts I've also been looking for a Slant-o-matic (aka Rocketeer by Singer) The first time I saw one on EBay, the price was reasonable...Then because I decided that I wanted one, the price soared. They say that patience is a virtue, I truly need to work on that one, BUT look what I found !!! It's got all the goodies too !!!! Including the hinges that fit into a sewing table ...
