Question
I recently acquired my grandmother's New Home sewing machine and am looking for some parts for it. I have tried to do some research myself to find out what model it is to buy parts but I am not finding much.  I was hoping you could help me, the style number is 956227-C.

Answer
Hello Tiffeny,
Regretfully, I am not an expert in the home or domestic sewing machine.  My expertise as far as sewing machines go, is in the collectible toy or miniature variety.
If you take a moment to go back through some of my Q & A's you will find links to websites that may be of interest or helpful to you in your search.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise

I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
