Sewing machines are like toys here & winter is the time we get to play with them. The nice stitching from your Kenmore makes me want to try a Montgomery Ward that hasn't been out for a while. We've been playing around with a 128k & a Fashion Mate that belong to a friend & like them both. <br /><br />Nice dogs, are those Labradoodles?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533193895245886403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-72562333381329547402015-02-12T21:31:50.602-05:002015-02-12T21:31:50.602-05:00Now I know where you are!

Glad your dog has the stitches out and is doing well. I recently bought a lower level kenmore 158 16600 that looks like new but when I set the dials (found manual online) the stitches are not what the dial says. I could live with that but I am having trouble finding a true zz setting. I cleaned and oiled it per the instructions but so far the dial problem is there. I am planning to have it worked on when the weather gets nicer but is was wondering if that sounds like something broken inside. It makes some nice stitches just the dial settings and trouble getting a narrow plain zz are annoying. When I got it, the hand wheel was sort of tight and I don't think it had been oiled in its entire life or sewn that much with either. Talk about major machine abuse. I am sort of thinking I should have passed this one by and gotten one with the cams and more features. I have only the foot that was on it but think it is a low shank model and I have some from a 70s white that might work. Any thoughts on why the upper dial on mine doesn't correspond to the stitches? It makes a great straight stitch but it was supposed to be a back up zz model. I am like you and just like machines-all of them.mssewcrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610005723483105088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-3757215365732182132015-02-12T14:48:09.575-05:002015-02-12T14:48:09.575-05:00Harrison seems like a pretty good name for a Kenny...Harrison seems like a pretty good name for a Kenny anyway.<br />Or Rex, Rex Harrison.

They've been cleaning the B and tuning it up for years and years since then (last trip: $170 plus tax), so someone is getting something out of it. <br /><br />That sums up why I love your blog.

The sales lady at Sears talked her into this model saying it has superior stitches and she would have it for years and years. I cleaned it for her, and it runs like a champ. Could you imagine a sales lady saying that now? With a straight face?Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.com
