There are places on the web where you can get a date of your machine.
If nobody has posted one before I get home from church, I'll look one up
and post it for you.

That's a model 15. It is Chrstina's favorite to MQ on.

And does she do this just regular sewing? Does she have a walking foot
for it? Just a regular low shank walking foot? And do all Singer
needles fit this machine or will I have to purchase different/special
needles?
Tina

Regular singer needles fit, just remember NFL - Needle Flat Left - the flat
side of the needle goes to the left, and you thread from right to left. I
have a walking foot - generic for the low shank. I also have a generic
darning foot that I use for free-motion quilting. When I FMMQ, I get the
best results from lowering the feed dogs, and setting the stitch length to
0, and I also loosen the presser foot tension a bit - the knob on top does
that. Play around with it, to see what works best for you.

Warning - get used to lifting the presser foot with your LEFT hand.
Everytime I forget and use my right hand, I get burned from the light! :-)

You can see a couple of 15's on my page:

I think Wendy got your questions. It is really a
classic standard Singer. Really easy to deal with.
No alcohol when you clean it!

Wendy - thanks so much! I don't see where/how you can lower the feed
dogs on this machine? DH can't find the manual but I did find one on
E-bay so after I confirm the model tomorrow, I will see about ordering
it.

I also don't know how to loosen the presser foot tension.

And I am especially grateful for the warning - I would never have
thought of lifting the presser foot with left hand - I've always done
it from the right - but today when I was cleaning the machine up, I
thought, MAN, that light looks like it could burn the tar out of you!
So thanks in advance for that one!

Your Margarita is a DOLL! Beautiful case!
I'm so glad there are others here like you who already know and
understand this machine!

Tina

Taria - this machine does look exactly like your 15-90 but this machine
is gear not belt driven ????

Thanks for all your help.

Tina

What a happy, happy thing!! Dancing in the moonlight for ya, Tina!
