- Dear Friends:
A number of you have inquired about purchasing a copy of the Instruction Manual for this amazing machine, but I would encourage you to DOWNLOAD a FREE COPY at my DROP BOX, at the following link: www.dropbox.co...
You can also visit my friends at the link below for a FREE copy:

Good Sewing, and God Bless....Scott
enjoyed your tutorial on the 201-2. I worked for Singer years ago, demonstrating the machines etc. I had a 221-1 machine, gave it to my Aunt, and have just purchased another one. I am 84 yrs. young, still luv to sew, it keeps me going
Mary Smith
What a great experience working with Singer to demonstrate these classic wonders! The Featherweight you gave your Aunt was a marvelous gift, and glad you found another to enjoy. Check out my videos on the 221, and I would encourage you comparatively to check out my exciting videos on the Singer 99 and 99K, as well. These Mighty Mites are shorter in overall bed length than the 221, and pack a dramatic punch with a motor about 2x larger!! Thank you for sharing your love and passion Mary, and I have no doubt your forever young outlook will continue to fuel your passion many years into the future!! Enjoy, and God bless, Scott
Another nice feature of the 201 and the model 15's stitch length adjustment design, is the fact that besides not needing to look, once the length is set, it will sew in exactly the same holes as the forward direction, making a neater stitch when back tacking a seam.
Hi David,
You comment is spot on, and this feature does serve very well to reinforce seams, with a nice looking finished product. The key however to get this output consistently, particularly depending on the material sewn, is to adjust the presser foot pressure as the fabric gets thicker, and keep the feed dogs nice and clean so they can do their job.
Insufficient presser foot pressure causes fabric slippage, and with that the uniformity of forward and reverse sewing stitch formations..
Thanks for the comment,
Scott
I loved the video. I am the lucky owner of 201. I bought her at a yard sale for....$25. I love sewing with her. The only time I have had her in the shop is when I needed the take up spring wire replaced...in the tension knob. Repair person is on vacation for another week....I do miss using my 201. I have a Bernina and I needed the foot control fixed. In conversation with the dealer, he offered a trade in...all my old black cast iron Singers for a new Bernina...Nope. Life is good.
That dealer needs to get up earlier to fool you, Darlene....LOL Bernina like Singer and Husqvarna, has a proud history, but these brands sadly have moved away from quality of engineering, and these machines are not what they used to be....Vintage is the genuine article, not the contemporary counterpart...Life is good, Darlene!.
What an informative, well-done presentation of this beautiful machine. You explain the features and functionality as clearly as an excellent college professor. The excitement in your voice comes across and is extremely contagious. I feel like this is the gift I would like to give myself after making it to age 63, after some rough years. I have newer Singer machines, but I want to feel what it’s like to use the Rolls-Royce of Singer. All the little enticements make this irresistible. You’ve done an excellent job refurbishing this gem. Thank you for a great video,
Thanks for this video, yesterday I became the guardian of the family 1955 201 (I hesitate to use the word owner as I hope the machine out lasts me and goes to next keen sewer of a future generation of our family). I'm very excited to use it, not only as it is a fab machine but because of the family history that goes with this particular one, my Aunt had it from new and used it until a couple of years ago when she could no longer sew due to alzheimer's. The most wonderful thing happened when I opened the beautiful leather covered box - a smell hit my nose, gently at first, and the smell took me back to when I was 3 or 4and had ripped my coat at my Aunt and Uncle's farm, and my Aunt sewed it back up on this machine so my Mam wouldn't know and I wouldn't "get wrong". I hadn't thought of that day since, well, since that day, and now many more memories are surfacing. Thanks for the video, I'm now going to watch your others :)
You are a guardian of a very special treasure, and I hope your family sewing legacy continues long into the future....I know the earthy scent you're speaking of, and for me it takes me back to the many homes I've visited, the people I've met, stories shared, and machines I've been privileged to adopt into my family....now numbering more than 200.....Enjoy your "Rolls Royce of Singers," she has so much yet to give, and in return wants nothing more than the pleasure of serving and being useful.....Don't we all..? :)

A new development, my other half was jealous of my sparkly 201, so after a quick scour of the internet we picked up a 1926 singer 66 that has a later electric motor on, fully working, £20 ($25) and less than 10 mins drive away from home. We've both promised each other to draw the line at two though! I'm finishing off non sewing projects as quickly as possible before I start using the Machine, and before my house is overrun by fabric thread and needles!
What a great channel you have, thanks for all the info!
Dear Leia:
I contemplated ignoring your remark, but was encouraged by several to respond and educate. This machine is bulletproof, and has been tested repeatedly in light industrial and even commercial settings around the world without a hiccup. Alex Askaroff, world renown for machine knowledge and evaluative expertise, stated this machine is so rugged it can take a direct hit from a nuclear missile. and still sew! While this is extreme, it makes a clear statement about the machine's ability.
I love this video if the Rolls Royce of sewing machines. I just obtained a machine like this completely refurbished by an expert. You teach me almost everything I need to know about my new acquisition. Thank you!
The Singer 201-2 is a beast. I've used and broken countless machines prior to acquiring my 201-2. It sews through anything (denim, leather, plastic?) and is nearly maintenance free. You can really get into with this machine, which I love.
Hi Jon,
I could not agree more....Please post this again directly through the video so it's visible to EVERYONE....
Great comments, and Good Sewing!
CowCountryVintageSewing MachinesAndRestoration I even seen a video of a guy named Alex Askarof in the U.K. sew thru tin cans with one, or it might have been a 15-91. I might even cave in and get an electric 201 or a 301 or a 15-91. UMM or all of the above...
I'm so pleased my video was helpful...Enjoy your amazing 201-2!! Your Grandmother obviously had outstanding taste!! Warm regards for great sewing, Scott
I learned to sew on a 201-2, cabinet model. It was my mother's, and I recently inherited it! I always knew it was a good machine. Still sews fine, but needs to be re-wired. I can't wait until it is ready!!!
Fantastic Jane! Your Mom will live on through this incredible machine, and perhaps some day you will pass her along to another family member to cherish for another generation. Enjoy your Mom's Rolls Royce of Singers!!
I have 2 of them. The best machine Singer ever made!
Thanks Philanna for the comment, I passionately agree!
Just got my Rolls Royce on eBay today. Can't wait to receive it. Your video was what got me interested in this beautiful machine from our past. Thank you so much!
My pleasure rmwtsou......All the best with your Rolls Royce of Singers, and your profile pic ROCKS!!
Hi Candice, I'm not sure about the original price tag, but I can tell you that each family that purchased one saw it as a major expense, and often along with a sizable down payment, had installment plans that ran as long as two years!! My take on this Rolls Royce of Singers? They are PRICELESS, and if properly restored and maintained become a precious heirloom to pass on to your kids, grand children, or a trusted friend....Enjoy
What a fun documentary. I love hearing these wonderful narratives about this marvelous machine.. I recently aquired a very nice 201-2. I am so jazzed. My local SewPro's has helped me restore her. She has a name, Christine it is. Not a bit like Steven Kings Mad car.
I shouldn't have watched this video because now I want this machine and it looks like it's sold :) great video. thank you.
Dear SHEWRITESBOOKS: I apologize for the tantalizing video on this amazing machine...LOL. While this machine is SOLD, and the owner guards it with two Dobermans, a moat, and three 2-year olds, I do have another available in my collection that I just restored. If you reach out through my Facebook link, which is on the front page of my CZcams channel, I'll gladly share photos for your consideration. Warmest personal regards, Scott
Hi Buffalobigboy69,
The 401 is a fantastic machine, and one of the few direct drive singers that typically has an ALL METAL worm gear to drive the balance wheel. The only potential disadvantage is the 401 (particularly the 401-A) has mostly an aluminum body, and can have some tipping tendency if operating under a super heavy load, or while pushing thicker material through the machine needle.
Enjoy your 401, and Good sewing,
Scott
Hi Margaret, there are a number of low abrasive solvents to use on the machine chrome, but I've gotten the best results from two: Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover, and kerosene. As I shared with Sue above, you can also use either of these solvents on the painted surfaces and decal work, as well. Gentle circle like motions typically work best, and as I told Sue, either a soft cotton cosmetic pad (80 pad pack at Wal-Mart about $2.50) or you can use a Q-tip swab, also. Gentle around decal work!! Enjoy!
Hi Duan, Sounds like you have a treasure trove of vintage machines....very jealous!! Contemporary classes will certainly equip her with basic sewing techniques, but rarely will they provide answers to the use of vintage attachments. Encourage her to check your area for Vintage Singer groups, or if you send me pics of the attachments, I'll gladly provide input on the application and use of each one. Good sewing, and enjoy those wonderful NOS machines!!
I read that this machine was 1600$ when it was new. I just bought mine and LOVE it!
The bulb on my 201-2 gets hot enough to WELD STEEL I think. I have a cool scar on my hand, looks like the Virgin Mary, a burn from the stock bulb. I am waiting for an LED replacement bulb to hopefully minimize ongoing INJURIES, solar flares and explosions...
+J.P. Stone - Hi J.P.,
It's strange your bulb is getting that HOT, unless the watts are significantly higher than the recommended 25 watts.
Not sure where you're sourcing your new LED replacement, but Home Depot is worth a stop if in your area, and their prices are hard to beat on bulbs that work well in Singers.
Thanks for your questions, and Good Sewing on your amazing Rolls Royce f Singers!!
All the best,
Scott
Scott, I appreciate your video, I just bought my wife an NOS, or "new old stock" Singer 201-2, that has been in storage along with many other NOS or nearly NOS items that someone inherited and put up for auction, it was a bit pricey, but now that I have seen your video, I'm glad I had high bid. It also came with a huge box of extras, many of which we have no idea what they are for, but my wife is going to take classes on sewing, and I'm sure she will learn what they're for. Thank You Again, Duan
Hi Scott, just pick up one of these black beauty's a week ago and it had this awful rusty looking film all over it, so I used everything even bought rust removal rubbing compound metal polish nothing removed this except for WD-40, so wish I had found your video before it would have saved a lot of the old decals on my machine I didn't remove all of them someone else had started this and seen they couldn't get it off and then jump dump it at the goodwill that is where I found her in the cabinet full of accessories, some I don't even know how to use didn't have the manual, and needed the foot pedal rewired so I got her "Black Betty or Elizabeth Jackson" I'm thinking of naming her one of those leaning towards the 2nd one. It sounds so Southern, Rich, and reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor and since I am from the south east, found her in Jackson, I think it suits this wonderful machine. But I have been researching every site I could get my hands on and taken pictures before during and after so I don't forget where a screw goes. OK my question, while researching I found this gear driven beauty takes wicks, and singer motor lubricant in order to work can you do a video on that and show me where I can purchase the right stuff for my machine, I have used naval jelly to remove the rust from her needle bar and other chrome parts and then shining them with chrome polish and metal polish on the other areas. I have found after using the WD-40 very lightly and quick and then getting it off fast it removed the film and then putting singer sewing machine oil on a cotton cloth shined it up really good. I have taken the motor apart half way haven't found out yet how to get the rest of it off but I will, so wish I had your knowledge of machines, so I could make her like a brand new one. But I am learning as I go. And since I only paid $8.00 for the whole thing and she wasn't in great shape to start with I figure I can't damage her anymore but just maybe she might be a great sewing machine again. Thanks for all your advice and wonderful videos. Markay
Hi Holly, Please forgive my delayed response! I do have extra bases in my inventory if you're still looking. Thanks for your note, and again very sorry for my delayed response. Kind regards, Scott
ROLLS-ROYCE - 100%
Yes, indeed Юрий Шаров! Enjoy your amazing Rolls Royce of Singers, my friend!
Привет! Как работает Singer 5532 работает? Я хочу знать, оценку профессионала.
5532 позиционируется как «сверхмощный» аппарат, но плохо подобранный в 4411, показанный в турнире «голова к голове» на моем канале CZcams. Дело в том, что любая машина, изготовленная на Тайване или в Китае, массово производится ради прибыли, а не качества. Эта машина является одноразовой, и при регулярном использовании она будет продолжаться 1 год или меньше и быстро начнет терять мощность двигателя. Не мудрое вложение, мой друг. Хорошее шитье, Скотт
Hello my friend!!! Thanks for your advice. But in Russia it's hard to find a good old sewing machine
wow that's beautiful....my grandma has a Singer 66 (I think) and it is on a treadle cabinet. It is also in great condition and it is so very beautiful but it is more ornate than yours....yet I find the 201 a little prettier because of the abundance of shiny black.
Great informative Video - I managed to pick one of these up for $40 and am just about to embark on getting her all beauuuutiful. thanks for sharing.
I just picked up a Singer 201 at a second hand store. I tested it and it runs and sews. It is a little rough in appears due to the front edge decal is worn off but the rest of her looks good. I oiled her but did not grease. Just wondering, should I take her in to be checked over by a repairman or is this something I can do?
great video. thanks for putting it out. Jim
+JIMPONYD - My pleasure, Jim! Thanks for the feedback, and please check out my other videos on the Singer 201.......
Hi Linda,
What an incredible find, and $15 is like stealing it!! :}
Regarding the needle position, it's possible the needle has been bent, so try replacing it with a general purpose Schmetz 90. Make sure the needle is fully inserted, and the sewing foot is installed correctly. You can download a FREE copy of the instruction manual for your machine in the description section of my video.
The painted work on the applique shown in my video is more in the realm of decorative acrylic painting with standard brush strokes, not dots or small touches as you would find in stippling. Any cloth type paint should get the job done, and you can use a standard FIRM acrylic brush.
Enjoy your Rolls Royce of Singers, and let me know the quilting goes!
Warm wishes,
Scott
I just found one of these at a Goodwill and walked out with it for $8. All attachments, bobbins, manual, little tools. Only problem was I had to use a fork to open it as there was no key. The key found inside the little compartment didn't fit but I'm going to try to file it or get another. The case has a few small dings but can be refinished. WHOOOOO HOOOOOO!
WHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO, indeed..!! Congratulations Scrat335, you found the treasure of treasures......Enjoy your Rolls Royce of Singers!!
Thanx CCVS guy. Do you have a key for it?
I might have a spare key........Most use a small flat head screwdriver :)
What??? It sold for $15??? I just bought a 1947 machine, not nearly as nice, for many many times that price. I'm going to subscribe to your channel in the hope of upgrading to one of yours. I love this machine! Thanks for the great video! Jo
+SharpLady53 - Thanks for subscribing, Jo! This machine actually sold for hundreds originally, and the one in my video went for about $700 when it was auctioned...not sure about the $15....?? If I can be of service in some way, please let me know. Good sewing, Scott
I was given a 201-2 singer machine with a case It is oak beautiful sew amazing with every kind of foot you would want. It was owned by a 98 year old and she was the only one that had ever used it I had bought a feather weight 201 and the parts work on both . but bobbins are diffent the 201-2 but I don't know what size bobbin to wind the bobbin it has little hole that is requied . Can you tell where I can find bobbins for the 201-2 . It is 1952 model Thank you Melody . Do you have other video on the 201-2 to show what this machine will do I basiclly sow straight stitch an it beautiful
You can purchase bobbins for both the 221 and 201 on EBay, but be careful, some after market bobbins are not engineered well, and can stick in the raceway, and even damage your machine. Original bobbins assuming they are rust-free, are typically the best choice.
I have a 201-2 along with a 15-91 and a 101 model. I am looking for a 1200-1 model which is a 201-2 with a knee lever to lift the presser foot.
Hello, I just bought a 1951 201-2 AK 382978 singer and I was cleaning my machine and I took off the needle clamp screw to take the needle off. I know that you raise the needle up highest level then unscrew the and insert the needle flat side facing left. Then clamp screw but for some reason the needle clamp feels loose when clamping the screw. The needle is not staying in its position. What am I doing wrong.? Help. Please do a video tutorial. It has to do with the needle clamp that feels lose
Hi, beautiful machine. I have a 15-90 and I was wondering where you get the beautiful mirror like slide plates? and mirror plates? Thank you
Found this video bc I found one on craigslist for $75, do you know if this machine is alright with working with leather?
Thanks, SO much. I picked up this machine, in a HUGE cabinet, for $15. As I clean, sort, and explore, it seems to be working OK, but the needle looks like it's right up against the right side of the foot. I'm worried that the least nudge will cause it to hit the foot. Is there a way to adjust the needle position? If this isn't your field, can you please tell me where I might find the answer? Thanks for the videos. I can't wait to get this cleaned up and ready to quilt. Speaking of which, how was that stippling on the quilt done, please?
Just found a Singer 1200-1 ( 201-2 ), this machine is a beast, found my at the local thrift fo 12.00 dollars......
Dear Clifford: If you in fact found and purchased a Singer 201-2 like the one shown in my video for $12, you should drop to your knees, thank God, then return to the thrift shop and make an anonymous donation for at least $300. Assuming the machine runs well, and ultimately is serviced and restored properly, you have quite a treasure, my friend. Make sure you download a FREE copy of the Instruction Manual for your machine in the description section above in this video....Good sewing and God Bless Scott
Went back to the thrift store looking for sewing stuff...found something called a featherweight in the box for 12.00 and a mini lock fr-852l for 6.00....Do you sell sewing machine pedalls...
I need 2 of them?
Dear Clifford: I would love to know what city and state you live in.....These deals you're getting seem unbelievable. Yes, I have sewing machine pedals available, and if you email me detailed photos of the machines you need them for, I'll gladly quote you cost.. plus shipping. My email is: ScottGellerMS@Gmail.com
There is a village thrift and a thrift store by Andrews Air Force Base here in Maryland......... both of these thrift stores get incredible items.
Some one donated all of Grand Ma's sewing machines....I went back hoping to find some thread, needles and fabric, This Dare Lady had at least 8 machines. I'll send you pics tomorrow of machines and a list of parts I need.
Wow Clifford, what a jewel of a thrift shop, and it obviously speaks volumes about the generosity of the donors in your area. I hope these shops have enough funds for their missions, because they are definitely undervaluing their sewing machines. Glad to help with parts if I can, and together we can preserve your incredible machines.
Also wanted to know if you know of a place where I can purchase the decals that are missing like the one in the middle. Thanks for any advice it is greatly appreciated Markay
Hello Scott, I was wondering which is a better machine over all, a Necchi BU or a Singer 201-2 ?
Also which of the older machines is the best over all machine ? Singer, Necchi, ect ??
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
Chris
+SBCftw - Hi Chris - I love both machines, but for overall sewing, particularly super heavy-duty, I would lean towards the Singer 201. (more)
If super heavy-duty and the capacity to sew decorative stitches is of interest as well, I would draw the Husqvarna Viking Green machines into the mix, too. My favorite of these is the 21A, which I currently just serviced and restored, and will be offering to buyers shortly. These go VERY FAST, particularly with the rare cams, carry case, and many other goodies I'm including, so you will want to move quick if interested..
Please let me know what else I can do, and how you want to proceed,
Kind regards,
Scott
Scott,
I sent you an Email, let me know if your received it.
Thank you,
Chris
Question, I am having to buy a sewing machine. What is your opinion on a Viking Sapphire 830? I had a vintage Viking 51, sadly due to petty politics, it was given to a "blood relative ". As I am only a in-law. It has sadden me, because I used the machine weekly. So now this other machine has come for sale. I just do not know much about it.
Hello! I'm looking to purchase this model for leather projects. Could you tell me the heaviest weight thread this machine could handle? Thanks so much!
+J. Caoilfhionn Marie (s0urgrap3s) -You could go as high as 300-D if the machine is serviced and conditioned to the highest level...as seen in my videos. Run the heavier thread in the bobbin case, not on top. In lieu of excessively heavy threads (waxed or otherwise) that can stress even a mighty machine like the 201, consider looking at Kevlar threads available in the marketplace today. They have greater tensile strength, less of a stretch factor, and feed more smoothly at higher speeds.
It's important for you to understand as you shop for 201 machines, they are NOT all equal, and depending on the servicing, conditioning and restorative steps taken, will fall well short of the machines presented in my videos.Thanks for the question, and for being a Subscriber!
All the best, and Good Sewing,Scott
very nice video. I wish I still had my old Singer treadle that I had in the 60s when I taught myself to sew. I recently replaced my dead New Home with a Janome Magnolia and wish I had found this first. Would love to trade it in for one of these, I'm sewing wallets and bags now and the Janome is not happy
What would you recommend to use to clean the decorative chrome plates on this machine?
Isn't the buttonholer in the pink case for a slant needle machine?
+UpCountryNana - Thanks for the great question! Singer produced both the Slant and Straight version buttonholer in the cool boat style containers. Below are each model currently FOR SALE on EBay, and unless closely examined, look identical:
STRAIGHT VERSION: www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Singer-Buttonholer-Pink-Case-No-489500-489510-w-instructions-/301853715822
SLANT VERSION: www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Singer-Sewing-Attachment-Slant-Button-Holer-489500-PINK-4-Templates-/262240947441?hash=item3d0ec74cf1:g:7x8AAOSwaA5Wis7t
To allow for the creation of the buttonhole, there needs to be a fairly wide sewing field, and that can give the impression that they function in the same manner, but they don't. Very much like the specialized attachment, commonly used on machines like the Featherweight, that can take a straight stitch machine, and give the impression that it can sew a zig zag stitch, but this is strictly a product of the engineering of the attachment.
Hope this helps....Again, an EXCELLENT question - thanks!
Warm regards,
Scott
Hi, so what's going on here, is this particular item for sale?
Or more of a demonstration for 201-2's in general?
Dear C A Erwin:
The machine in the video is long gone, but I am in the process of restoring others nearly identical to her.
FYI - We will soon be returning to EBAY under the seller name KINGOFKETTLEKORN, and I also sell unlisted machines privately quite often, should you be interested.
Good sewing,
Scott
Please email pics of your machine to ******@**** Ensure the
pics are detailed to include case, attachments, foot control, etc., and
what you're hoping to get out of the machine package. Thank you, Scott

Dear Mollie: No need to purchase a copy. Go to the DESCRIPTION section of my video, and you'll find a FREE link to download a copy. I would suggest printing and cutting it to size, and then get it bound at a Kinko's, or the like.
Thank you for your question, and enjoy your Rolls Royce of Singers!!
Warm wishes, Scott
Hi, love the video, thank you for sharing it with us, do you sell any of your machines?
Hi Tanya,
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it's my pleasure to share it.
I have traditionally sold machines on EBAY, but in recent years have offered select machines through private sales. What type of sewing do you plan on doing?
Thank you,
Scott
General, garment, and a few miscellaneous crafts
Sounds like your project needs can be met by a variety of machines, so we would need to narrow it down....
+CowCountryVintageSewing MachinesAndRestoration I have a singer that has model number 15 onthe motor but no other numbers serial number is g0461470. it has a very ornate design in red and gold all over it , can you tell me any thing about it.
Please email photos: scottgellerms@gmail.com, and I will try to answer. Thank you, Scott
Is there a link to look up Vintage Singer serial numbers? I have a 15-91 with serial number EE384380. Thanks.
+PJ V -
Hi PJ,
Yes, on my CZcams channel in the "ABOUT" section, I have a number of helpful links, to include one for looking up Singer serial numbers. I took the liberty of looking up the one you shared, and discovered the following:
Model - 15K (not 15-91)
100,000 were made in that production series
Your machine was born - December 24, 1947
For ongoing tips, tricks, and notice of newly released instructional and tutorial videos on my channel, please consider subscribing! Thanks so much for visiting, and for sharing your question.
Warm wishes, Scott
It's a bit irresponsible to tell people that they can do super heavy duty sewing on this potted motor machine. Yes, it will do it, but what about when the fiber gear strips and they can't replace it?? It would be safer to try that on a belt driven machine, at least those are easy to fix.
Your saying rolls Royce made it ?
Hello
I live in the UK and want to know how to get myself one of these machine.
I used my mothers as a child and having recently seen a machine in very poor condition in a charity store, thought it would be wonderful to try and locate and purchase one in good condition.
Please help.
I was given a 201-2 and would love to have a base like the one in your video. Do you have any idea where to get one? I've looked on-line, but no luck. Thanks!
Margaret, I've had customers pay as much as $20 for this manual, particularly in it's ORIGINAL form - get a FREE copy at ismacs.net. CZcams will not allow me to put the complete hyper link in this response! Email me at sgeller@new.rr.com, and I'll gladly forward a .PDF copy. Enjoy your Rolls Royce of Singers!!
Do you have a site where you sell these machines?
Hi Sue, You got that machine for a steal....Call your local Police Department and turn yourself in, immediately!! :) Enjoy your Rolls Royce of Singers, and to get and maintain a natural luster on your machine, use a cosmetic pad lightly soaked with kerosene - even safe if gently applied to decal work!! Enjoy, and I'll be watching the news for your trial for stealing that beauty!! Your ratings will be throught the roof!! :)
Hello how much do one of this machine cost plus shipping to Singapore?
Dear Slipsch: Delivered, you would be looking at a total cost of about $850 USD. The shipping cost alone, due to dimensions and weight, would be almost $200 USD. You would receive a FULLY Restored machine, attachments, including a walking foot, bobbins, needles, and the list goes on. I just sent another machine to Japan, and would love to earn your business.
Do you have a beautiful machine on hand right now that you're going to sell? Could you please send me an email with the photos theleathersociety@gmail.com
I will sent photos of my machine. Thank you.
Dear Shamini.. Sorry for a delayed response. I do have one in my inventory, But shipping would be extremely expensive due to the Weight of the machine. If you want to talk further, please email me at Sgeller@new.rr.com. My best, Scott
Hello hollymamma, I noticed your question on a base for your machine, I found a heavy duty plastic carry case on eBay sold by " ALLBRANDS"
Item number 390496867033 If you put that item number in the search box on eBay it will take you right to his sight, just make sure you get one that is for a FLATBED, not one for a freearm, only ones for a flatbed have hinge pins to allow you to mount it permanently. Hope this helps.
cool! thanks for this link!
+bzystpn - No problem....If you decide you want to become the owner of this amazing Rolls Royce of Singers, let me know. I have one available, and she could become yours. All the best, Scott
do you still have this available? will it do heavy work like the 66-16?
could you make the manual even smaller and therefore totally impossible to read..not very impressed with this...thumbs down...
