Nothing can compare to the buttonholes I made with that machine, using that great buttonhole attachment and the correctly sized cam. I would still probably buy another one if it crossed my path...Made by Hand on Planet Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713054553261344668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-32762450083431596812011-05-04T17:48:06.911-04:002011-05-04T17:48:06.911-04:00I have to ask--where's the black singer?? ROF...I have to ask--where's the black singer?? ROFL! I have some "new" machines. But go back to one of those old black beauties--since I can do just like you--service it myself! Those expensive and time consuming "tune ups" had me put those machines back in the closet unless I need a fancy stitch. About once a year!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930975280752577392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-41922246889948532922011-04-26T23:00:52.930-04:002011-04-26T23:00:52.930-04:00Thanks, Marci! I am thrilled for me, too! :)
Sa...Thanks, Marci! I am thrilled for me, too! :)<br /><br />Sassafrass, please do not apologize for your lengthy comments. I love reading them. Keep me posted about your grandmother's machine. In so many ways, there is no comparison to those oldies.<br /><br />The best reference I ever found for sewing machine maintenance on older machines was published by extension offices in the 40s and 50s. Maybe even earlier. They have the best drawings and information you can imagine. I'll try to find my copy and see if I can put a name to what I used. I researched at a university library, found the book in the stacks and then had it photocopied. It was well worth it!Made by Hand on Planet Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713054553261344668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-17037125507336137482011-04-26T10:32:21.416-04:002011-04-26T10:32:21.416-04:00What a bargain.
