New Home

Although I prefer to use my 1890 New Home treadle, my first machine I bought was a New Home in 1967 when my son was born so we could make clothes for him. I guess 1967 makes it a vintage machine. I have use this to redo car interiors and upholster furniture and all sorts of heavy sewing.

I have a New Home that I am just not sure what to do with it. Not attached, she came as a package deal, she does need a new motor-at least to me because the wires are bad and I don't do wiring.

I'm trying to decide if I should leave this alone or do Glenn's instructions? I did try to clean up the decals a little bit last night using sewing machine oil, but was afraid to rub too hard. There was already a little silvering before I started. I did uncover some decals that I couldn't see before.

With luck she will be all put back together tomorrow afternoon. We finished putting the top together today. Need to pick up a missing washer & nut (from my before pics it was missing from the get-go) tomorrow and a new belt. Then we can put the base together tomorrow. I'm so excited!
And only one wood screw left over! LOL |

hey folks, I picked this up yesterday in an antique store for $15. I do not actually have a "New Home" machine but i felt that I should buy it before it became part of some steampunk display project...

Skip I have this exact same model New Home. I bought it used back in 1990 and love it. Unfortunately the spring in the tension assembly broke and I can't find another one. I ordered one from the New Home/ Janome site but it didn't work. If anyone here knows where I can find the right spring or the whole assembly I would be SO happy. |
mcfay, I get my parts from my local sewing machine shop. He sales New Home/Janome sewing machines. This machines has never given me any problems and it will sew thru anything. What part of Tx are you from? I am a fellow TX born in Decatur, TX and went to NTSU.

I'm southeast of Dallas. I took my tension assembly that was in pieces to a Janome dealer in Mesquite and he couldn't help me. I found another one just like mine at a flea market but the tension disk were rusted. I should have bought it and I could have used my disk on the tension. But I didn't and I haven't seen the guy since and that was about a month or so ago.
