Singer 201-2 sewing machine


 I found a Singer 201-2 on facebook marketplace the other day and couldn't pass it up.  It is a machine that has had very little use in it's lifetime.  The machine is locked up though so I'm tearing it down to find out what the problem is.  The whole machine is so dry, no oil anywhere on it.


Update:  The machine is sewing a beautiful stitch now!  I called an expert sewing machine repairman and he came by my home and got the machine running again!  I tore the machine down to where I was comfortable putting it back together but the machine still wouldn't turn but my guy did the tougher part and I'm so glad he came!

Ode to Sewing Machines #29

Many of you follow my "Ode to the Sewing Machine" posts.  We've all seen the ads on craigslist, ebay and elsewhere.  The clueless sellers give those of us who sew a belly laugh, or two!

No one in their right minds would continue reading, but who says quilters are in their right minds, so here's installment #29...




Throttle?  There's a sewing machine in there somewhere.





He dropped this one $50 and it still hasn't sold?

0 bids on this one?  Can't imagine why?  I know I always take a picture of the back of something when I'm trying to sell something. (If you notice, not one of his photos shows the front of the machine!)


Free shipping on this one is a deal maker for me!!! 
Gonna bid on it right now before someone else does!


Is that what boat anchors go for nowadays?  Posted 26 days ago and it still hasn't sold yet?


Finally!  A sowing machine!
