Kenmore 158.84
Just before the year turned into 2011, I went to Western Mass to look at a Singer 319K. I came home with it and this Kenmore. The machine had not seen much use; it was pretty clean and shiny. No foot came along, so I found one for it and tried her out. I was pretty pleased with the stitch. BUT there is a broken cam inside. It will stitch a ss and a zz but the cams won't work in it. Still it makes a pretty good stitch so I felt ok about the machine (I gave very little for it). There was a "lot" of parts for this very machine on eBay and I was the lucky "winner." When the package came, lo and behold, there was the part that I need. So, this machine is going with me to the Ray White class in Ithaca in November. Won't that be fun?

This looks like my machine's sister. It's an excellent machine but I took off that front plate (mistake) when I was cleaning it and unhooked something so the button knob and zig zag don't move the needle! Yikes! Help!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I did that when I first got this machine. I wish I could remember what I did to fix it. All I remember is that I knew I had done something really catastrophic and kept muttering "Oh no , Oh No.." I finally, miraculously got it back together. Then I named the machine Yoko.
