I am totally new in the world of sewing machines. I want to get one for my church's youth art department. We want to make banners, flags, praise dance clothes. I figured, because I'm going to do a lot of projects, an older yet sturdy machine would be best.

But I have a couple comments. #1: To Thora: I have recently seen those Necchi bobbin rings that you are missing on eBay. If they aren't there now, keep checking. #2: I also just picked up a 537 L at a thrift shop for 15 bucks a few days ago. It looked practically new.

Only to realize that not only is it missing a casing, it is also missing part of the housing that the casing rests in. The black pins that lock a front ring into place are there, but that ring is missing.

My attempts at setting the adjustments have failed and the thread just gets bunched up in the bobbin housing. Do you know where a free downloadable manual can be had?

I purchased it new after 1989 (that was the year we moved into the house we live in now, that's how I remember) to replace my Kenmore that no one could (or would) fix.

You are an excellent sewing machine doctor. I think any machine that sews solid, precise stitches is wonderful regardless of where it was manufactured. In fact, the vintage Japanese clones like the Piedmont, Imperial, Domestic, Zenith and others are some of the best all metal machines out there. An added bonus is that theyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053469261622557578noreply@blogger.com
