Umm - the green buttonholer does not do zig-zag stitching for seams,
just buttonholes with the little disks in it. There is a zig-zag
attachment you can get as well.
Happy sewing.

The Spartan is a 3/4 size Singer, much like the 66 (full size) or 99
( 3/4 size). It takes standard short shank feet, which are still sold
at JoAnn and other stores. It does not have zig-zag so needs the old
green-case buttonholer (which does work great, BTW). You can easily
find these
Megan, that's great info! thanks. I was looking on ebay and getting
confused. I saw the green and maroon cases, but no idea what the
difference between them was. So.. the green case gizmo will do both
zig-zag and buttonholes? I noticed a number of other sellers who had
quite an assortment of metal
If you don't have one by the spring, bring it to Costume-con, I'll show you
how I'd work with it. :)

Thanks, Dennis! I understand there's also a manual for the 99/99k that
is pretty much the same as the Spartan, except it's a bigger manual and
explains how to use the accessories (should I find some) and how to
service the machine. I'll look into that as well.

Hi,
I've been gifted with an old Singer Spartan sewing machine - but I
could use the manual. Does anyone happen to have one? I'll pay you for a
photocopy of it!
thanks!

Have you checked singer.com? You can probably download
the manual for free from them.

Gee, I wonder if I can find any of the accessories
for it: I'd love to get a buttonholer after all the talk about how great
the old singers were for buttonholing (I hate doing buttonholes, and my
Kenmore isn't too fond of them either).
I got a buttonholer kit for my Singer 220 from eBay, of all
Hi,
You can download a manual for the Spartan from Singer at this site, just put
the model number (i.e. 192) in the search box:
http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html
It will use a set standard low shank accessories that you can buy on
ebay.
