This one seems to stictch very easily, I am tempted but know nothing about it's history. Is there anyone who knows anything about either one of these? I would appreciate your help.
I love Kenmores! I've had 5. Most are rescued and then passed on. I still have one that just makes me smile whenever I sew! Never had problems with bobbin winders, reverse or anything else. A good cleaning and oiling is all they've ever needed.
