Hello Quilting Board!
Thank you for accepting me into this forum.
I have got an interest in vintage sewing machines for six years, and I do a few modifications to some of them to make them sew heavier thread and fabrics. Perhaps others may have the same interest. You can get many good vintage domestic machines cheep, and they will not cost you big time like an industrial sewing machine, if you make a serious mistake with them. But a domestic machine will not take heavy work for many hours every day like an industrial machine are designed for.
I use my machines to repair vinyl covers with webbing fabrics for gymnastics. And for a few projects.
Hopefully I meet other people her, that may have an interest and a bit of fun by some tinkering with their vintage sewing machines. And others may have got an interest in expanding, what their machine may be able to do. I noticed many interesting posts about vintage sewing machines in the Quilting Board Forums.
