*Vintage Sewing Machine Resources*

This is where I will try and help you out with links to people who know stuff about these old machines.  Also you will find my posts on cleaning and repairing vintage sewing machines here.

This is a reliable EBay shop if you like using EBay.  They ship fast and are very good with lots of parts for newer and older machines.

April has a great deal of knowledge about Singer 221's (Featherweights) and her shop is dedicated to it. She only sells parts for that machine.

Let me just say, this chick is awe inspiring when it comes to how great a job she does with photographing the repairs she does, her advice, and just all of the amazing info on her blog.  L-O-V-E her site and it has helped me tremendously, especially when I started this crazy little hobby of mine.

This site is a great resource, for many things including free manuals.  There is a collectors corner, and some great photos of old machines.
