Maybe I'll get my 411 out and see what I can come up with.
I do agree, I like the 15 style machines the best. I do have some of the Singer Knit needles (with gold bands). It's all I knew to buy back in the day when I was sewing (poorly) on that 290C. I could snap those suckers in no time flat!
Wasn't that Phoenix one of the ones you wanted to keep???
The Phoenix is very much worth keeping - I found someone who needed it worse than I did - I am needing to cut down on the amount of stuff in the living space. I'm just glad it is in the right place. It has a way to drop the feed dogs, set the stitch length. It had a really cool little foot, a lever to flip to do something - just did a dandy job of FM. Easy to set up. I haven't ever seen a FM set up like that. The machine is very well engineered. Way ahead of it's time. The gal was thrilled to pieces with it. Even the cabinet was special.
