Thank you for all your comments. I have yet to start the cleaning process I need to get some of the correct stuff to do the necessary parts - I have been reading the link that Roger put up, and I need to download the TFSR pages.
Brenda, interestingly the little zipper foot I have mentioned actually has the Singer name on it and a number 161127, this is an adjustable foot and the actual foot is hinged. I will have to get the machine up on to a table again to measure the distance from the foot to feed dog - she is rather heavy and I don't do bending very well - it affects my balance/head.
Cheesecake thank you - yes I too like the decals have never seen one like this before. It was just one of those things I just could not leave her sitting in the charity shop window, and for such little money it has a new home. I know the hand wheel turns and the existing needle goes up and down, and that is about all I have done.
Trying to do some cutting out and then sewing before the heatwave comes as I need some cool cotton type tops to wear, thus maintenance of any sort is on the back burner.
Very many years ago I was after some bobbins for my then Cosson machine - a straight stitcher, and I found a machine shop near where I worked. I went in to ask about the bobbins and found the ones I bought were actually Bernina bobbins. I went back for more bobbins - I do not like different colours wound on top of one another. The owner started talking to me and disappeared into the back of the shop and came back with boxes upon boxes of various attachments and accessories and said here you I bet you cannot get them to work let alone know what they are - these were given to me - no money exchanged at all. In amongst all these were loads of rufflers, tuckers, pleaters, a lovely edge stitch foot which I still use today, gatherers, under braiders, a hem stitch attachment in its own box, a weaver's reed (think that is what it was called). I then happened to find a book published by Singers especially for schools, and they showed you how to use all these wonderful goodies.
Do you know I had these and occasionally used them on my Elna with no detrimental effect to the machine, and then being a generous person I donated my Cosson machine and most of these accessories/attachments to a charity that refurbish machines and sends them out to east Africa.
Perhaps now I might regret that but I am sure the ladies in East Africa have far more need of these accessories than I have, and of course now I have modern machines they come with their own type of accessories and attachments.
