The 221 is the 57 chevy of sewing machines. Wouldn't mind fixing one of those up.

Hopefully not. The 15-91 I bought didn't need anything either. I didn't want to risk the wiring so I am replacing it and cleaning it up a bit. Figured if I was going to be running it endlessly I wanted to make sure it was in tip top shape. Inside and out.

The 15-91 is a nice machine, bought one last yr but haven't used it yet

I have a cheap Brother LS 2125. It gets the job done. Anyone else have a daughter that is just devastated that her father sews? :-)

My daughters live in a much larger city than I do...they don't mind me sewing gear, but I have been told that I have enough machines and they will no longer pick up sewing machines for me that I find on CL or Goodwill Auctions.

Well, I took some advice from Ramblinrev. Since I'm not flush enough to get the Sailright walking foot machine I want, this will do.

A combination of three $10 dollar purchases from Salvation Army and Goodwill stores. Really nice cabinet, a Kenmore 158.17530 Which I have 10 cams for for a total of 13 stitches, 4 feet, part of the button hole attachment. The machine didn't work in the store so I rebuilt the speed control and it works great after a clean, oil and tune. Sews nice tight stitches.

I also rebuilt the zig-zag and straight stitch machine that came with the cabinet and gave it to a friend that needed one.

Good find. Nice job also on the rebuilds and the give away to your friend. Goodwill, slavation army and habitat stores are usually dry around here. I still look and found one that took a bit of work to get going, but it was fun. I have been looking at mostly singer and as such don't know much about kenmore, heck I dont know much about singer either. How you make some gear. Good luck

My wife got this after her mom passed away. So technically not mine but I am the one who uses it. My mom said I could have hers too. It is a Necchi but I don't know the model.
