Look for the “Singer” logo to verify that the cabinet is a Singer the logo takes three primary forms: the word “Singer,” a decorative “S” with scroll-work, and an “S” bearing the text “Singer Sewing Machines” in front of a seamstress. Thanks so much for your help and your interest and all the fun and fascinating comments.How do I identify my Singer sewing machine cabinet?
It's a regular size machine and it's in a table with a square leather padded stool.Īny assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
I just don't know what "low shank" means and I don't know if my machine is a featherweight or not. I zoomed in on the picture and I see the zipper foot.
For example, this one person is selling "8 Low Shank Presser Feet for Featherweight 221 201 99 66 15 Machines". Here is my question: I found a number of zipper foot attachments on eBay and some of them say for they are "low shank" and some say "featherweight". I can't seem to find the zipper foot attachment and I want to make some chair cushions for the chairs that go with my grandmother's table that is 150 years old! I really appreciate your providing those links so that I could determine the model number because I'm trying to buy a missing part. My mom, who's 92 and still going strong, bought it the year my brother was born and now it's come to roost in my home. From following the links you gave above I have figured out that my machine is a Model 201, manufactured in 1952 in Elizabeth, NJ. These are such beautiful machines and so often loaded with so much history and emotion. Thank you for making it so much easier for me. She loved it and took such great care of it that now that I have adopted it all I had to do was identify the model and find a manual, just to learn how to maintain it. As an anecdote I remember her saying the people that sold them (this was 1935-1936) were going around the villages in Romanian countryside and offered free sewing lessons to little girls whose families bought the machines. She was just 8 years old when my great grand-father gave it to her, and I was about the same age when she taught me how to use it :). It only had one owner until me, my grandma. I actually have a " little sister" Nefertiti version, thanks to you now I know it was also made in Clydebank, though a bit later in 1934, and you will be amazed to know it landed in Romania :). I have been looking for this exact type of info for a long time and it just took me a couple of minutes to get it all by following your instructions. Hi Ann, I just wanted to say thank you for all the great info I found in your article.
