Dorothy tells of a machine that she hadn't seen before.


Hello,
I had a request to come look at a serger picked up from a Thrift store.
I did meet the owner to find the machine was an old all metal Brother. I regret not writing down the model number which was 509? It was a 4 thread model which I assumed would be a 2/ 3/ 4 thread stitch pattern machine.

To my surprise, it turned out to be a 2 thread chain stitch with a 2 thread over edge! Spacing about 5/16".
I have never seen a dedicated domestic serger that did one stitch only. I assume it made a lot of shirts in its day!
Later,
Dorothy
