Contributing Member Regis Posted February 24, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) The handcranks are available for Singer and some clones (according to my brother who collects and restores antique Singers). He says the Standar is probably a clone of the Singer 15-88. Regis wolvenstein, the hand crank, is that something that comes with your machine or is it something that I can purchase for mine as well? I have a Pfaff flatbed,walking foot ,that just runs away. I haven't been able to get it under control yet. If I had a hand crank, that would be so much easier.Thanks Stephanie Edited February 24, 2007 by Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)

esantoro Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah, I know what you mean about that feed dog. That's why I went with the Walking foot Super Bull. I even tried filing down the feed dog on the Baby Bull. It helped to some extent. I'm going to experiment more by finding someone who can grind down the feed dog 3/4 of the way. i think it will work, even though it is solely a bottom feeder.On the Baby Bull I can actually spin the flywheel and have it do a few stitches. For the money, i really like this little guy. It's got spunk, where the more expensive machines have the power and the mechanics Ed I was stitching with my Super Bull last night and doing a bit of handcranking and I guess it isn't so bad, just heftier than the Baby Bull.

Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted February 25, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted February 25, 2007 The manual that was sent to me with the sewing machine is for a MORSE 200. If the mores is a clone I am not sure, but I am guessing the it is and the Standard is also a clone of the Singer.... and all the guy could get his hands on was a manual for the Morse, instead of the Standard or the Singer. This is "Copyright 1956 Morse Sewing Machine & Supply Corp."
