Here's my sturdy new little girl - I have such bad luck with sewing machines - I think I plumb wear them out. I really wanted a basic workhorse machine that wouldn't get the $hits when I use it for more than 5 minutes in one day --- and I think this girl is going to fit the bill. I bought it on kijiji - as near as I can tell, the machine was made in 1976 (that's the date on the manual, anyways) - this thing is HEAVY! The machine body is metal, and it runs like a charm. The seller said she has her machines serviced regularly and I don't think she was exaggerating - the machine ran perfectly from the minute we turned it on to test it! I made a crazy quilt block to test things out - I'm a happy camper!
Congratulations on your new sewing machine!! The older mechanical machines are, I think, much less prone to having hissy fits. :-)

Is there a stretch stich in your Husqvarna sewing machine?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I gave the machine away a very long time ago, and I don't remember if there were stretch stitches or not.
