Well Candace, I see the Pfaff 260 you mentioned on our local Craigslist for $400! I sent them an e-mail a couple days ago asking if they had actually seen a Pfaff 260 SELL for $400? I told the people who are trying to sell this machine that you can ask anything, but maybe they should look and see what the machines are actually selling for! The asking price and what actually gets sold are two different things! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/3105270595.html Well, it looks like they listened a little - it is now lowered to $300 - what a deal!

Wow Charlee it is sad that those blocks ended up for sale to anyone! Someone's, mother, sister, aunt, whomever spent a lot of her time hand embroidering those blocks. It is a shame that kids, offspring, neices or nephews, didn't appreciate what it takes to make something like those blocks!

Ok John - now that I know you are a guy - I have to agree A LITTLE BIT with what you are saying, but I'd get the 319 too! I love my 319w in treadle!
I just today moved my two 31's into my barn! I am confiscating one stall to set up my 31's for repairing saddle blankets, horse blankets, some tack etc. I have tried using the 31 a couple times, but the thing scared me to death! It takes off racing! I will 'have' to practice and practice with those mean machines or I will end up sewing a finger or something! I love them, though! Oh yeah, both my 31's were given to me along with a bunch of attachments for them and the cabinet - which is electric but looks like a treadle!
I worked on my Hales Crescent's cabinet today - I had already stained and repaired the cabinet - now it is just finishing it! I also worked on my Hitachi cabinet - sanded and stained it! I won't really use the 31's until I can sand and stain their cabinet too!
Oh and I sewed this morning with my Pfaff 260 - which still baffles me! Why don't you try explaining why my machine works fine with one side plugged in and the old knee control, but won't run that way with a more modern foot control?

Relics has the manual you need in both printed and download. It's the 12th one down on this page:

Does anyone know what this Japanese badged machine's name is? I can't read in in the photo. I don't think I've seen one exactly like it before.

I was helping my sister and the other church member clean out a storage room at the church. We found 2 vintage sewing machines. One was a singer and the other was a regal paveway, made by The National sewing machine co. I have never heard about the regal and can't seem to find much about it on the internet.It's small like feather waight , but it is real heavy. Dose any one know anything about it?
