Yesterday I had a fun day repairing and shortening jeans for my grandson. Did the zigzagging on my newer Brother and had to go for the Redeye 66 for the real work. It sewed through those quad seams like butter. Not even a hiccup. My grandsons fiance is wanting a machine and I told him to find her a vintage one that will outlast us all. So, I hope I have gotten another couple of youngens interested in the vintage machines. He wanted to see all my collection and even took pics so he could show ppl. I enjoyed talking about them and showing him how they worked.
I have been amazed too at how those old Singer 66s can just sew through layers of jean material with no problems.
