A pink Mercury?
Folks, I really CAN'T get another sewing machine. I have no more room. So getting a new one would mean having to part with one.
But... look at this PINK one that shows up in today ads! http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...AdIdZ549454957 I know nothing of the Mercury brand; is it a Japanese clone? Please tell me it`s crap, not worth it, etc. anything that will prevail me to go grab it... |
I wouldn't want a pink sewing machine even if it was free. But that's just me. LOL

I'm a sucker for pink machines, so don't expect me to talk you out of it. :> Japanese clone that is sure cure. The only thing I'd ask for is close ups of the machine so you can see if it's a left homing machine or not. I don't like those at all.

Ok, I know: how about putting a spoked wheel and make it my daughter's sewing machine??? Would a Singer 15 wheel fit?
|
That is a COOL! color of pink! I'd be sorely tempted and I'm a guy.
Though I'm not as impressed with the cabinet it is appropriate for the machine. I think your daughter would love it. How old is your daughter? Mine's 10 and I let her run electric machines. There are also guards available for the needle. I think Sewclassic carries them. I just wouldn't want to change to a hand crank. I don't think it would look right though you could probably get it to work. Rodney |
That is such a great color!! Someone is going to fun with this machine and the price is right. I wouldn't change a thing on it, it's a great shape, so mod, so trendy, so Mad Men even.

My daughter is only 4 years old. I was thinking about getting her a machine with a spoke wheel and a "suicide knob" attached to it (Miriam idea) for now Then, in a few years, I would put back the electric motor and original wheel.
Rodney, I happy to know that finding the color so cool is not a girlie thing... I'm usually not girlie at all! |
I, too, am a sucker for pink - and more so Pink/Grey if I could find one.
But from the photo that looks magenta and almost looks like a paint job to me. |
