Artistic Sewing Cabinet?? |
Chris, the clones are confusing. If I hadn't sewn on a 1950s White in the 1950s, I might not see that pretty one as a White. I have a Admiral made in Japan that has to be a Necchi clone. Funny thing is, it has a better motor than my Necchi, but side by side, they are very similar.

WOOHOO! The spousal unit finally rewired my 99 for me, and she sews beautifully! It's the only machine I had a plate for to use the picot hemstitcher, and now he's playing with it trying to get the hemstitcher to work properly. :)

After breaking an entire package of needles trying to get the hemstitcher to work, we gave up for today. :(
Name...hmmmmm....I suppose it IS time to actually name her with a name that will stick...will have to think about it. She's a fast little hummer...quiet...nice stitches...no reverse (1924 model).... |

OK, I'm not sure how to use the board now - so can anyone tell me how Billy is or if he has a blog - how do I get to it? I haven't seen him post in several days.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/persona...51-t28727.html I'm sure he's waiting to hear from more of you. I hope this helps! Janis |

Janis I just 'googled' it and it is so neat!!! I want one, but can't afford the $99.00 for the set with the throat plate. Anyone know of one a lot cheaper? |
There is a Singer 500 and a Necci for sale near me for $45 each if anyone is interested. Kathie S.

I am going to look at a Singer 66 tomorrow. I am not familiar with this machine and neither is the seller. She is asking $25 for it.
Questions I have: Is this only a treadle machine? I think she told me it was in a case, but she doesn't know anything about machines so a case could be a treadle! What # bobbins does it take? I downloaded a manual for it but didn't find anything about the bobbins. It looks like a round bobbin. Is it only forward and reverse? How are the stitches? Is it a good machine for most types of fabric like denim? Thanks for any information! Jan on 446 |
