Vintage Sewing Machine Information sites & blogs

SINGER 15-88 89 (Treadled class 15-88, with an electric motor added, I have not rewired the motor, since I bought it, though, I love to treadle, too much to want to electrify it!) (2 photos above)

When I started my vintage sewing machine blog, I thought I created it, using this name, which I also thought gave me the address of MyFavoriteVintageSewingMachines.blogspot.com , but apparently I did it wrong, so I am starting again, & I have set it up so that is my link, but it looks like I have made 3 separate blogs! All about my favorite vintage sewing machines! I already have many sewing machine posts on my other blogger page, so I will add a link to it, as well as to some of my other favorite vintage sewing machine blogs & sites. I will be switching to this page, for future sewing machine blogs, so hopefully, if you have found this before I get more posts done, please click on the first link, to see my actual vintage sewing machine posts.
