SNIGDIBBLY....help!!

In your webshots album there is a photo of your neice (or other
relative) sitting in front of and sewing with what appears to be a
singer 920.. I recently acquired one of these machines from garage sale
and was wondering if I might ask a few questions as to how you are able
to keep your machine in good condition, esp about the feeddog. (email
me privately if ya wish)

The picture is of my granddaughter and she is sewing on a 1976 Singer Athena
2000 - the first computerized sewing machine put out by Singer, I think.
Can't help you with the 920 feeddogs thingee. I just vacuum mine out and
have replaced it due to wear twice since 1976. I wear the top off with all
the fabric I put thru it and it gets where it won't grip any more. I buy
the part and install it myself. Sorry I'm no help.

Ah, forgot it was your grandaughter! (sorry)

Well, so far, I've just been playin round with the machine i got at
garage sale.. and have been wonderin if it will be worth the money to
have it professionally serviced (I got machine for less than 5 dollars)
and at that time when I bought it, because of apparent speed control, I
was thinking it might be good for freemotion qulting... however there
were some interesting embroidery "cams" that were included, and so
renewed interest as to the machine's capabilities have captured my
interest.. yep, the feed dogs seem to be a real problem if I wanta do
anything other than freemotion with the machine...can I email you, I'd
like to know what the good feedogs look like, apparently the previous
owners used some sorta elec tape, lol!!

Ann

Wishful thinking I guess, but doesnt hurt to ask, lol!
