We rarely see sewing machines around Springfield in the thrift stores.
However I would have bought the NEEDLE CRAFT clone, I love that color.
I would have run like crazy from the DRESSMAKER, that machine design is JUNK, JUNK, JUNK. Miriam had two or three, I had one and none of them were worth much more than boat anchors.
The NEW HOME 29 stitch most likely would have stayed for someone else too. It's probably got plastic gears and other parts inside and I just can't accept that.
But you can tell us how it sews in a report, can't you?
