| SINGER 15-88 15-89 TREADLE SEWING MACHINE WITH ATTACHED MOTOR, I keep it in a treadle table, because I prefer treadling, to using the electric motors, though there are some times where the electric comesin handy, so I like to have both, lol! |
Anyone just getting into fixing up, & using a new to them, but vintage sewing machine, will need to find good sources for free information on history of their machine, what feet & attachments are available, instruction manuals, & more.

The first links are to some of the most comprehensive sewing machine websits, with links to other pages, where you can find photos, informational history, as well as free manuals, & more, to help you with your new hobby! Here are a few of my favorites!
http://needlebar.org/nbwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page (Sewing Machine Museum Archive)
http://ismacs.net/ (International Sewing MAchine Collectors Society)
http://www.victoriansweatshop.com/
Some of the old free Yahoo sites for individual sewing machine brands, or models, are also a great source of information, but many of them have switched almost completely to Facebook now, so also, try doing Facebook search for your model of sewing machine, & choose sites you enjoy. For the Yahoo groups
you join the specific ones you want to, they have loads of photo files & other files, with free copies of sewing machine manuals & how to photos & instructions, to help group members, so join the groups that you have sewing machines of the brand or model type in the group name, or description- some have Facebook pages with the same group names, which are used more now, but there are loads of information files in the Yahoo groups, still.
