FIRST - HAPPY MOTHER's DAY.
I was sooo happy to get my "call" this morning first thing.
Thought I sure do miss my "little one"...
Someone was asking about the Singer 15-90 on one of the quilting boards I frequent, so I said I'd post my favorite 15-91... The 15-91 has the geared motor - sometimes called a "pot" motor as it sits in a little "pot" stuck on the back of the machine head. The 15-90 is the exact same machine, but is belt driven with a bolted on motor...
Here she is working on a Quilt of Valor this past month for our guild:
And here she it again in her swell No. 42 "Deco" Singer Cabinet!
And a close up... this is one of my best restoration jobs - but she was also really "minty" to start with! - NOT FOR SALE!! But you can come over and play with her anytime!
I do have a centennial model for sale at "the shop"...(the Shameless Commerce link to the left) and have several more in for "SPA" treatment that will be out and looking for new homes in the next week or so. So visit there and see if you'll find something you might like!PIECE!

What a pretty machine! You know, you should really give her a name.
:-)
I've not named my featherweight either . . . but I did name the longarm.
I recently found a sewing machine exactly like this in my MIL's house after she died. I was wondering how much something like this is? Thanks.
I have both a longarm (Lucy) and a featherweight (Dottie J). I just posted the story of how I got her on my blog. I'd love you to check it out. I'm trying to find other featherweight fanatics!
The 15 - 91 in your picture - is that a featherweight? I have the centennial edition.

I have looked all over the internet for one like this and can't find one anywhere. I am very curious as to the price of this machine/cabinet. Please help me out with even a ballpark figure.
Hi,
I just purchased a 301A and No.42 cabinet at the local ARC store, Lincoln NE.
The machine is in premo condition, I sat in the store and tinkered with it for over an hour; it works great.
The cabinet is in great working condition and the ornate trim and finish is orginal. Save a few scratches on the folded top, the cab is in very good shape ( I do not know the exact professonal term for it's condition;but, it is really nice.)
I am looking foward to using this machane.
Ps I am a 55WDM relearn the joy of sewing. I learned the bascis at my mom,s side in the late 50's and early 60's.

Though it seems to be a bit after the fact...
I found a 15-91 in a No. 42 about 6 months ago at a local consignment store and must say I am in love. It quickly replaced my 99k as my favorite machine. The finish of mine is a lot darker and it came with the original stool. I am trying to make my first quilt on it presently.
Anyway, I just meant to post a link about this:

I don't know how much the No. 42 is worth, but it is pretty hard to find anything about them on the internet...
I just inherited one of these in the same cabinet. Can't wait to see what it can do. I must wait for the children to go to bed!! Yours looks great!!!
