Think it supprised the sellers, but were glad it went to a Sewer, to be used.
She Worked !!
It is a Riccar Model 040 ?A5 17014 Any info would be helpful.... Thanks
I think you did very well indeed!! I love the machine and you will see that the Japanese 15's are way better than the Singers. I love Singer like the next guy but the quality of theses machines are hands down the best you have ever seen. For one the hook assembly doesnt rattle in the race, the tolerances are a lot tighter and they were all around made better. Plus you can slap one in a treadle and off you go!
