If you get the machine going - I could use a good straw hat!<br /><br />I do love coming in from the field, tired and dirty, to check out your fantastic blog and dream of cooler days with screwdrivers and triflow instead of mattocks and shovels. but you also can't beat producing 80% of everything we eat that's organic, fresh and DEElish!Pegnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-55268500529041624582013-07-12T10:31:26.204-04:002013-07-12T10:31:26.204-04:00About pin rash on industrial machine use. It all ...About pin rash on industrial machine use. It all depends on what the machine operator is doing - sewing through leather and straw (as suggested by the roller foot and blunt feed teeth) would never involve pins but sewing clothing and other thin cloth applications often involves pins for markers and the operators will have pin nests wrapped around the arm of the machine for the rapid removal of the pins as the needle approaches 'the mark.' I have 2 commercial machines (used for clothing) and both have pin rash.Pegnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-73204300513765828182013-07-12T06:36:29.395-04:002013-07-12T06:36:29.395-04:00Yes except that it is smaller than that.

Here is a link to a picture on Ismacs:<br />http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/model-list/images0-99/imp_manuf_pkn.jpg<br /><br />According to Ismacs, "Originally 'fiddle' base. Base (of most models) = 19 1/2" x 8 1/2". "It is larger and stronger than the IF (Improved Family), but light running and with more room under the arm..." Parts were available to convert machine to alternating presser, wheel feed, roller presser etc. Became the Class 16."<br /><br />You have the wheel feed and roller presser version (if this is the correct machine)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191756677239463926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-34160129318252179082013-07-11T21:31:14.543-04:002013-07-11T21:31:14.543-04:00I think on the arm.
