    Lots of nice old machines so figure I would show mine. It was given to me 20 some years ago. I do believe this is a Japan made 1/2 size machine, it's about all I know.

    That's a cute "little" machine. A reduced size 15 clone. I bet it makes a nice "full size" stitch.

    I have a problem with getting a perfect stitch with it. So drop by a Thrift store today and pick up this Riccar, don't know if it's a good machine but has more features and comes in a case and only $20.



    Manual included which is a bonus.


    Also has a snap on table.

    Here is what I have using for some of my DIY projects, It's a Husgvarna Viking Selectronic 6570. It is a great machine and has lots of features, so many that it makes it very complicated.



    This is my new toy I found at a garage sale yesterday. I got it for a whopping $40. It's a Singer Style-o-matic, it came with the manual and a bunch of accessories. A good cleaning and greased it up and it runs like a dream. I am excited to get some more DIY projects done with this machine.

    Stylomatic is an excellent machine. I got my mums last Christmas and absolutely love it!

    I was just given a Singer 401-A slant-O-Matic in a cabinet. I can't wait to get it fired up 😃

    Good machines, but if the fancy stitch patterns don't work well, it's just a matter of getting the old gummed up oil freed up.

    I couldn't resist, after hearing so much about the Necchi machines, I had an opportunity to pick this up.

    I paid more the I probably should have but what the heck... You only live once. Just finished sorting it out and it runs really well... Now I understand why folks like these machines. I also got the last of my supplies needed to start my first project. So next week I will make my first DIY hammock....

    Sweet! I've got three Supernovas and love them. Did you get a fairly complete accessory set with it?

    I did, it came with the accessory box including the complete set of cams, original manual, supplementary instruction manual and a few odds and ends. Even the case is in good shape. I'm jazzed.... Would you mind if I reached out to you with typical noob questions?
