I have 2 but I don't use them much. Any time I sew 2 layers together the bottom one slips and they end up not matching. I tried a walking foot on one of them, it didn't help. I can use them for things not quilting related. They're cute though.

The serial number may be on the bottom of the machine, under the removable bottom, or under the extension near the bobbin case. It will be stamped on a piece of metal which is attached to the body of the machine. You can look it up here: http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...-database.html

qwkslver, that sounds like a problem with the feed dogs. There is a FW Yahoo! group with a lot of knowledgeable people who might be able to tell you how to fix the problem.
