Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
a Pfaff 260 climbed in my car and followed me home... it has a flat bed - awkward bobbin - two belts - cleat type - needs a good clean up but seems like it will be a tank - maybe interesting to see the designs it can make - interesting place to put the motor - it's on the bottom - the machine is very dirty on the outside - inside looks like it was serviced at some point then parked for a while - don't know about the wiring

Coydog is a coyote dog cross. Kylee was half Siberian and half coyote. Mia Joy was 3/4 Siberian and 1/4 wolf. What a joy she was, too. Where? A housing development on the edge in the Manistee National Forest, but within the city limits of town. I am three streets in. The bear was two streets in at 7:15 in the evening. I know we share the area in the night, but I wish they'd stay in the woods during the day. I actually was more apprehensive when I met a wild coyote at 9:00 one evening with the two dogs I have now. Coyotes are so unpredictable.

Wow Melinda, I will have to run the 306w that is still sitting here to see if it sews fast or slow - since they are basically the same thing! I never had a motor on my 319w to see how it sews with a motor, but as a treadle it is pretty slow! I thought the slow speed was just because of the straight leg treadle it is sitting in?

For example, I did a serpentine stitch on my binding on the 319 last week and it was slooooow. I did the same stitch on my Elna 62C and it was probably twice as fast.

Here's a video... kind of long. But, my machine is just as fast as this and is not what I consider to be fast compared especially to my 401, Elnas and other vintage machines. I guess it's what you have to compare to or are used to. The motor on the 319 is only .5(I think) which is a pretty weak motor.

My 319 was very fast with the motor installed. I only use mine now as a treadle a find it is a little slow doing the decorative stitches but straight stitch is just as fast as my other treadles. But for me it is fast enough.
