Singer New Family 12 or 12k and Singer Improved Family 15.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the 12k and the 15 are known as Fiddle base, as they have a curved base, unlike the later machines that have a rectangular base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As at 2022. The images below are of the machines as I found them “in the wild” Neither is perfect to look at, they both came in their original treadle tables. They both sew a straight stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2023 I found another Improved family IF-15, Serial number 8265113, I added it and its table to my collection, her decals are even nicer than my first machine and the table is in better condition also. I donated the first machine 8193651 to Annie Bonny’s Locker Museum in Hawthorn, Vic. The images for this machine are also below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January 2025 I added a new page to this site, it contains details of my second Singer 12k Hand Crank.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More history on these machines can be found at ISMACS page The Singer Improved family.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
