    My Brother married a heavy metal Singer for $4

    Couldn't resist the thread title - for the last few years, I have been thread injecting on a plastic Brother sewing machine which has went well, with the exception of tree straps. Well, I found a 201-2 Singer this weekend which was very dusty for $4.00. With the help of gmcttr, I have cleaned and oiled it, and it runs like a champ. Looking to grease the gears next.

    My Brother and Singer are in DIY love - I will post pictures of the Singer later. The Singer came with three feet attachments, but I am scratching my head on what they do. I am hoping the curvy one is a rolled hemmed foot.

    Great find! I just picked up a Singer 96k40 with 1/3hp motor and table for free this past week. Needs some work, that much is clear, but i know so little about this machine, I am still not sure what kind of find it has been for me!

    Photos and instructions for the presser feet are in the back of the user's manual I sent.

    Need to purchase some more Guterman to tie the knots officially. Still working on the grease replacement, but excited to use the machine.

    please remember this is a family friendly site so pictures of naked sewing machines are not allowed


    I have been looking for a used heavy(er) duty machine than the Kenmore I have, so far no luck.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
