Steven and I were in Burlington, VT this past Saturday at the Re-Store. There were several machines there. As you know, I left them all behind.
There was stuff all over the top of one of the cabinets. Before we moved it all off to really look I reached under the cabinet to feel for a machine. Yup. There was one there. But because there was so much stuff on top, I wanted to be sure it was worth moving it off.
I repeated my "internal exam" this time with the camera underneath the cabinet and snapped a photo.
We opened it up. It looks too familiar. I left it behind. As you know. I rather wish, now, that I had brought it home. The cabinet was lovely. Sigh...... I really have a problem.....
These are not the same, but close.
Now, looking at these photos I am inspired to see how they are doing. The one above had issues with a stuck stitch length regulator knob. I bet it is "frozen" again. I can't wait to get my hand out of this splint. I have too many machines that need me......
A few of those blue and white machines have passed through my hands. I used to see them often, but not lately. I have never seen on like the center photo. I need to forbid from going on Craigslist. We drove 30 miles Thursday night and brought home a Pfaff 360 with all it's accessories, book, stitch wheel, Pfaff cabinet and sewing machine chair for $40. I haven't had time to 'play' yet. It has a broken reverse lever, but I'm working on trying to find one. I do have the whole piece so Lou might have to see what he can do to make it solid again.
ReplyDeleteTake care of that thumb!
A Pfaff 360 is a deal at 40 bucks. Free arm?
DeleteYes. Free Arm. Does it take special needles? The plate on the machine says 130R needles. The ones I use are 130H. I really could not find a difference when I looked online, and when I searched to buy needles with the 130R, I got auctions with 130H. I haven't had time to take the needle out and compare with my universal needles.
DeleteYou're White (pictured with the instruction manual) is a nice looking machine!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear you're review on it.
You were smart to pass up the White in the cabinet at the Re-Store.
You have a better version of that machine....with more stitch options.
