Mom came out to the shop today to take the tour. She was appalled. Still, she hung in there while I worked on a Kenmore 158.13500. She offered advice, listened to the noisy bobbin area and helped me figure it out. She's a trooper.
It's ready for polish and ready to sew. I love this machine. Yes, I love all of them....Mom might be a bit worried. Oh well.
The dogs look calm!
ReplyDeleteYup. Frannie with her new hair cut.
DeleteI think Frannie and Mother both have about the same expression...
ReplyDeleteYes. Frannie, however, is used to my chaos. Mother had fears, now confirmed.
DeleteI now own four of these Kenmore 158 model sewing machines. I love them all. I wouldn't sew on anything else. I have had my first one since 1981 when it was purchased new. The other machines have hardly been used at all. They sat in a closet for years.
ReplyDeletehi elizabeth, i have 2 of these. the one above has bearly been used; i bought it from a little lady who liked sewing and car racing. i bought my first kenmore new fr sears. i moved and can't find my guide, but i know it's in here "somewhere". i've owned a singer w a trindle pedal. the original cording is dry rotten, but it came with a spare. so cool, it doesn't need electricity. for the one above, it came w an elaborate cabinet. i got it set up, but i can't collapse it. slightly frustrating, but i can live w it. i can't live w a computerized machine and its snippy attitudes. they're cheap for a reason. enjoy you machines.
