If you go to my blog and click the heading Singer 15K on the sidebar you should find useful info, including a couple of Youtube videos. I have loads of info generally about vintage machines and how to use them. Even though I don't use electric machines, you will find plenty of helpful things on my blog.<br />Sorry, cant help you with the second machine - it's far too modern!<br />Love, MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-84286332234797608312014-06-13T00:44:55.168-06:002014-06-13T00:44:55.168-06:00Have fun with these great finds Val!

I guess if I went to work restoring my grandmothers treadle it might help. But he says there isn't enough room and I can only use one at a time anyway. But your finds look wonderful. Sometimes patience pays. I love the woven front of the cabinet drawer.

I bought a blue vintage Brothers machine just for its color and cool knobs on front. I have four vintage machines and that is really my limit. It's a shame, isn't it, to be limited by space. When you find deals like yours, it certainly wouldn't kill the budget to have more, but...the whole house can't have a sewing machine on every surface...hmmm, or can it? I'm sure I can find a spot for a Featherweight though. :-)Quilting Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964800066332039021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-52718818324992081642014-06-12T10:24:45.517-06:002014-06-12T10:24:45.517-06:00What a bargain!
