Recommendations wanted: vintage machine w/skinny free arm
I want to find a machine that has as narrow and skinny a free-arm as possible, without going to industrial patcher machines or similar - I want a standard DSM.
I do some other crafting and sewing besides quilts, and I don't really have a good free-arm machine right now - I have a smaller modern Janome that has a free arm but it seems large (wide) to me, compared to what was on the old Pfaff I learned to sew on. (I should measure it...)
I'd like to find something that's not terribly rare or expensive, that doesn't take rare needles or need impossible-to-find parts. Zigzag ability would be nice too. But the main thing is to find the smallest diameter free-arm so if there's something really skinny I'm willing to spend some time hunting for it. I don't need a large throat for this so the overall machine can be a small one. (But I don't want to spend a fortune so that pretty much rules out a 222, lol)
What would you recommend? Am I asking for the moon?
