new machines

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

                     This one is called Buzz.....as in Lightyear......Corny, I know.  It fits.

The other machine was a black 1956-1959 singer,  case and box had seen better days,  didn't even look look at it, the featherweight was plugged up, moter ran, machine was dirty, needed some work, something I could attempt to fix.....decided to think about it.      DS (dear sister) was called/faebooked for consultation.... She was appauled that I eve...

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
