Not me - the new-to-me vintage Singer 603E that I told you about in
this post. I got a new throat plate and bobbin cover on Ebay and oiled her, and she sews like a dream!!
For her first project, I didn't want to tax either of us too much, so I made a pair of quick knit shorts for Logan (who is potty training and needs tons of easy on and off bottoms). It gave me a chance to check out her zigzag stitch. I even installed the elastic the Ottobre way by sewing through the elastic and she didn't have any trouble with it at all. And let me just say, when I push on that knee lever - she GOES! Janome is fast, but this baby flies through a seam. So fun!
Now I just have to play with all her feet, cams, attachments and (cackles with glee) the buttonholer! I have seen some beautiful buttonholes made on vintage machines. I love Janome, but her performance in the buttonhole department is lackluster at best. I can't wait to see how the Singer performs.
She needs a name...
