Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 14, 2013 Moderator Report Posted August 14, 2013 Nice assortment Wiz. Those 70's era Kenmores are decent machines. My mom's got an early 50's Morse in a real nice cherry cabinet with the knee lever controller. The casting is stamped Toyota Mtrs. It was the first machine I sewed on when I was probably 10 or so. Oh, and are you happy with the Janome from that era? Regards, Eric Eric; The Janome New Home came to me with the Pfaff serger and it was almost seized. After freeing it up and getting it back into order it sews like a champ. It even does a couple of small alphabets, like for names on shirt cuffs. The patterns can be mirrored, stretched or widened, making for some interesting layouts. Of course, the machine cannot sew over 3/16 inch without great difficulty, nor use anything stronger than B69, but it wasn't meant to.

Members Ten Bags Posted August 16, 2013 Members Report Posted August 16, 2013 Hi All I have a mixed bag of machines also: Singer 45k1 from 1915 Singer 31k15 with knee lifter and converted from treadle to electrical. Singer 201k and a few other domestics for zigzag stitches etc. I am not that good with them, I am on a steep learning curve. But I have been lucky and picked up all my machines at very cheap prices. So it has not been a very expensive hobby yet! I am still after my dream 29k patcher maybe one day if I am really really good. Quote
