    Thank you so much for sharing. I Rescued a vintage Singer from being tossed. Because of your video I have identified it as Singer 15-90. I intend to clean it up, order some missing parts and get it running again.

    This is interesting. I have several older machines and I had a heck of a time identifying them through their serial numbers.

    Hey! Recently got a vintage singer machine but can’t find out what model it is, it has sort of square silver decals/engravings. I believe it may be a 99 but I can’t tell, it doesn’t have the same engravings as yours and I can’t quite find any ones like it

      Look at the base of the pillar, you should see a serial number. Go to this site: ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/serial-numbers/singer-sewing-machine-serial-number-database.html and look up the serial number. There's a handy video by a really cool UA-camr showing how to use the database, right at the top of the page. Thanks for watching 🙂

    I identify models this way.
    27/127 vs 28/128: the size. Once you touch or see one, the 28 looks like a toy.
    27/28 vs 127/128: the position of the bobbin winder, low for de 27-8 and upper position for the 127-8. This family is easy to identify for the sliding plates backwards and forward next to the needle plate, and also the small plate in the front.
    15 class: two ways. The sliding plate is larger than the 66/201, and the thread tensioner is on the face plate, in sewing position, at your left, not in front of your nose.
    66/99: The thread tensioner is in front of your eyes, short needle plate. In the begining, the stitch lenght is adjusted with a knob, not a lever, before back tack incorporated.
    201: The stitch lenght has its own design respect 15/66/99. If you see underbed, two legs on the right side, and the cover for the gear on the left side, capable of sewing without any kind of threadle or base. It has a spool pin on the right side of the bed for winding the bobbin.

      Be careful identifying Singer 28s and 128s by the position of the bobbin winder. Some 28s have a high bobbin winder because... well... Singer. Lol.

    15 class with lever regulator (15-88, 89, 90, 91, 191U, ) have "left type" bobbin case.

    • @SimplyStitchy
      @SimplyStitchy  5 місяців тому

      Better known as the 11 o'clock bobbin case. My 15K80 has a 1 o'clock bobbin case.

      Bit hard to say without seeing it. Could be a Singer 15 clone made by a company in Japan. If it is, it will say Made in Japan somewhere on it. These would have been rebadged under the name of a local department store like Sears. Or it could be a nostalgia model from the 1980s. If you look at the base of the pillar, is there a small, black, plastic knob? If there is, it's a reproduction Singer probably made in Taiwan or China.

      @@rianvermeulen7969 If it's a Singer 15 or Class 15 machine - no. It's a domestic sewing machine. It can cope with heavy use every now and then... but not all day every day 24/7. You need an industrial machine for industrial use.

    I have a 66, without the bobbin case. I purchased one in 2022 on eBay, and It got stuck in Miami. (I live in Rio.) Luckily, eBay reimbursed the money. So disappointing.
    I have two JA's and two JB's. I guess the 4 are 15's. Am I right? Singer has no information on them. Do you know the model, by looking at these ones?

    • @SimplyStitchy
      @SimplyStitchy  4 місяці тому

      Without seeing your machines, I can't identify them accurately. JA and JB don't indicate what the machine is. Those are letters in the serial number that identify the factory. In your case, St Jonhs, Canada. See this link: www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/stjohns If the tension assembly is on the faceplate - they are most likely to be Singer 15s.
