It still runs great and has all the original attachments and parts. I learned to sew on it when I was in grade school and still love using it. I've recently started to learn quilting (by hand) and am interested in finding out what attachments I need to find for machine quilting. I will check out the yahoo group you mentioned!

You sound like some kind of an idiot. Just ranting about a machine!! I have searched for years trying to find a manual - I did not even know the EXACT model of mine...UNTIL I found a photo of it on your site. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Haven't found the manual yet. I have 4 machines in my house. I have an almost new singer in the box - I'm going to give it to my Granddaughter learning to sew. AND, I'm gonna keep my old 403A which I bought about 1958 NEW. I understand your ranting. That sucker has made suits, jeans (jumps right over the thick seams) three sets of auto-seat covers (leather, thin foam and backing) all in quilting straight line pattern. I still use it and it still runs like a dream. I am 73 years old and time to "get things" ready to leave to my daughter(she wants the old 403A - but wants a manual) I made all her dresses on it in the early 60's. GO AHEAD AND RANT.

How cool that you have a box of attachments, too! Mine came with everything but the ruffler, the multi-slotted binder foot, and the maintenance tools. A really nice lady from one of the Yahoo Groups photo-copied her manual and mailed it to me, and that has been such a blessing! If you want to learn what all your feet do, I would suggest the Singer Attachments Yahoo Group. They have files you can download about how the different attachments work. Also, the ISMACS site has a few down-loadable files on attachments. I am currently in love with my hemming foot. It makes hemming so easy! I am sure yours probably came with one. Congrats and happy sewing! Kimbrah Sara- I tried to visit you blog and leave a comment there, but it didn’t work out. :)

I'm not sure yet what all the fancy feet do, but I know they'll come in handy someday!

I picked it up at a yard sale, having fallen in love with the table first. It's my first machine, and I am enjoying learning with it. I have slowly decorated my sewing room/office around the beautiful table. I LOVE my Singer Slant-O-Matic! I picked it up at a yard sale, having fallen in love with the table first.
