Singer 31K15 Restoration

Recommended Posts

Hey Crew. I haven't posted a bunch in the last few years, as I had some babies and my life kind of has been pretty busy. I just finished the cleaning and restoration of a Singer 31K15 with table and motor that I am pretty proud of. I reveal a few tips in the blog post as well, so if you want to read as well as look at the pictures, please do.

Looks great.

 

Only one question; there are hundreds of thousands black 31k15's so why what another colour?

Love it! Turtle wax, yes! Great restoration. Thanks for sharing. :)

She does indeed look well loved now! Character, right?

Great job on cleaning that guy up. I bet these guys looked so good coming off the assembly line especially compared to the plastic crap that does now adays.

Mine had some serious dirt on the paint I actually used mag cleaner on it then turtle wax. Have fun sewing with your new old machine.

I found a local source for needles today as well, so I will add a youtube video of the machine in action shortly.
