Old Sewing Machines
I have made a living on my Singer 15-class treadle sewing machine for many years.
I make Kites and Textile Art and I teach Patchwork and Quilting.
I also like the mechanical and engineering excellence of the old black machines, and I service, repair, and keep a huge stock of parts for Singer and other old mechanical machines.
I don't have many whole machines these days, and I don't keep any kind of electrical spares, like pedals or motors. What I do have is updated regularly and I keep a Wants list - if you can't find what you want please ask...
Those of you who visit regularly will have noticed that I have been rebuilding this site. This page is live and there is lots of new stuff here, but one or two of the links may be soggy. Patience, please, more sooooon!
I now take credit/debit card payments - please see the Ordering page for details.
