The Base

Bases are not always necessary depending on the machine. I didn't want to sell this one without a base whether it needed it or not. So I went hunting in search of reasonably priced bases. I wasn't really concerned about covers as a set was not only difficult to find, but nowhere near reasonably priced. I found a couple of sources and decided to try them both. 

The first one was a build-it-yourself kit from a cabinet company. They would make a pull out box in whatever size you specified at a very reasonable cost. So I ordered one to fit a full size machine.

The second option which looked viable was a company on eBay which created bases for Singer machines. They cost a bit more but came with the hardware (hinges and feet) if you ordered it that way. At the time I needed three bases and these were on sale. So I ordered two from them.

For the 127 I used one of the bases from eBay. I stained it and finished it with clear coat. I thought it turned out pretty darn good.
