The machine I won off of e-bay is electric.

Has anybody else had a hard time getting on the board today? I keep getting the message that the service is down for maintenance.

Thank you.
Thank you.
As far as cleaning, Billy's tutorials on cleaning work great for any sewing machine. Just do a search here. Billy is Lostn51.

There was a message in red at the top of the page for several days that said something about the page being down for maintenance on March 29 from 10-1 Pacific time.

I told the owner I'd thread both machines, adjust the tension and make sure they both ran. The singer had some electrical issues and seemed a little sluggish, so I opted to leave that one at the store. The Necchi, that I wasn't really interested in was like a work horse. It was quiet, smooth, kinda like driving a luxury car, so I brought that one home. All that to get to the question: I want to get some cams for it, I've looked on E-Bay the sellers for the ones listed don't know which machine they are for. Are the cams for the Necchi interchangeable or are the specific to each model? I'd appreciate any information. Thanks in advance.

Billy. I need help. Sewing a back pack with my Singer 191 commercial machine. I guess I left it on too long and the motor overheated. It started to squeal and make all kinds of noise. Turned it off and let it cool down over night. Turned it on this morning --no noise. Sewed one inch (sews fine) and it started squealing again. No over heating now just squealing. Turned it off. Any idea? I sure don't want to burn it up.

I think this is high but it sure is a nice looking machine.
Anyone interested?
