[QUOTE=gmcttr;1164075]Debi...is that a wood base? What's the top look like.

When it comes to sewing machines you are always seeing something you haven't seen before.

where would I find the serial number on this machine? I found the model number...
I don't know when the last time my mum used this machine was...it was full of dust (which I blew out with my boyfriend's compressor), now I just have to oil it, thread it and sew, errr, pardon me, thread inject

It should be stamped on the bottom of the case on the left hand side.

Interesting. I had't seen the square wood cases before.

If it's too "new" to date by the serial number, post or PM it and I'll keep looking.

I can't get the machine to tilt back in the case. I've loosened the screw that holds it in, but something else seems to be stuck, feels like on the right front corner or side. I tried to gently pry it with a screwdriver but no luck. It's going to have to go in and get serviced and cleaned properly anyway, I'll point that out to the guy.

I'll also phone mum tomorrow and find out:
a) when she purchased it (she got it new)
b) where the rest of the attachments are -- I have all the pattern cams that came with it, but the feet seem to be missing. I remember seeing all sorts of different feet when I was a kid and she was sewing (oh, I WISH I'd paid more attention!) She had an orange plastic box with all sorts of goodies in it, I'm sure it's still in her house somewhere!

I did some test stitching on a scrap of fabric and the tension is way out of whack. For now I've oiled it in all the spots indicated in the book and will phone the service place tomorrow. I hope they can get it in and out quickly, I'm anxious to start using it.

I showed my boyfriend an add on Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) that the service place put up, there's a machine for sale really similar to this one, for $99. He asked me if I wished I'd just gotten that one -- no way! I can't wait to give mum something I made on her machine

Most of the slant needle machines bolt into the case look on the bottom

[Debi Jaytee]

I felt along the bottom yesterday and didn't feel any screws, but laid it down today and voila! there they were! I got the bottom off and the serial number is JE264705 which, according to the Singer website, puts it as made in 1961 so, yup, older than me

I phoned my mum today and was asking her about all the feet and such, she's not sure where they are exactly, she assumed they were with the machine, but she knows she would still have them somewhere. While we were talking about the different attachments and what not, she mentioned that it did have a lot of things with it, and that she used them to make someone's wedding dress. I knew my mum could sew, but I had no idea she was THAT good at it!

That's pretty cool to have something like that with some family history.
