I love a good bargain.

[Handstitched]

I went one of my local craft market/ swap meets on the weekend ( Western Australia), and found an old-ish sewing machine on the ground at a stall , it turned out to be a "Necchi- Supernova - Ultra Mk 2", and sitting right next to it was ALL the accessories in a nice "Necchi" accessory box, instruction manual, spare needles & thread etc.There is evidence that the machine has been serviced regularly, plus it runs so smooth and quiet, no knocks, bonks, or any strange noises of any kind.

Now this particular machine , in its day, was maybe one of the top models (?) , as it does 'gazzillion' types of stitches like a lot of embroidery stitches and mostly automatic , plus it takes twin needles and has all the accessories for embroidery.

Now, I know this is not a leather machine, however it does do thin leather, like garment etc. (I tried it and works great ) as I do intend to teach myself to make leather garments in the future.

I can just imagine a nice embroidered design on a leather garment , maybe different contrasting colours?

So, how much was it ???

$20.00
