I'm buying the Sphinx model as a backup to my Singer 9022.
It's brand new. The dealer is adding a motor and a light.
It's beautiful.
Will it run as good as it looks?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm buying the Sphinx model as a backup to my Singer 9022.
It's brand new. The dealer is adding a motor and a light.
It's beautiful.

The reproduction machines are not made as well as the vintage machines were. The parts are manufactured differently. The primary advantage of a repro machine is that it looks good. It may not run as well as a vintage machine, though.
Hmmm... I'm intrigued. Where are you buying this machine? Are there any photos of it online?
From my repair shop/dealer
I've read mixed reviews but I saw someone in a youtube video sewing up a storm with the treadle version of this machine
Dealer has the box it came in and he's trying to find the wooden case for it
I might be a sucker but the thing is gorgeous
No pics of the one I'm buying online but if you google singer sphinx you should get a general idea what it looks like.
Hopefully it will work out. I have it on layaway so I'm committed...
I agree, that is a beautiful machine. Would love to have one, just no room. Good luck, hope it works out for you.
The original Singer Sphinx is a beauty as well as a work horse because it's metal the new one is probably plastic and although it is pretty I would get the real thing JMHO. You can't cancel the layaway?

Always be true to yourself!
Nope. Layaways are non-refundable.
I think it will probably work out though.
I really trust my repair guy.
He's extremely good.
Last time he fixed my machine it ran even better than when I first got it.
Sews like a dream now
