The Glasgow shop is huge, and there are literally hundreds of machines. S xx
Re: Men and sewing machinesShlugh,
I would have loved to have rescued one or two ![]() My workhorse machine is also a Pfaff, but only a youngster compared to yours, it's about 15 years old and I will never get rid of it. I've only had it serviced twice in all that time and never had anything go wrong with it. I really do think they were built to last. I use it for all my machine piecing for my quilts and it gets a LOT of use. Unfortunately I can't say the same about my Bernina, although it is lovely for free motion quiting and applique, it went wonky after 3 years and the cost to repair it......£135..... ![]() Ali Ali Woks My World
Re: Men and sewing machinesAli,
I spent ages looking at them when the shop opened a few months ago. Some are really unusual, makes that I'd not heard of, and some with such pretty designs painted on. I rescued a presser foot screw from one (after asking) as it was compatible with my Pfaff, and the thread on mine was loose. They thought I was quite weird, but hey, who cares. We have a modern machine, a New Home that belongs to my hubby, but I really prefer my old girl, we're so used to each other aftern being friends for 20 years now. S xx
Re: Men and sewing machines![]() ![]() ...badly ![]() But at least they're mended ![]() Now for the thick winter shirts with holes in the elbows....... They said "Smile, things could be worse."
So I smiled.................and things got worse.

Re: Men and sewing machines
Oh, yeah, the weddin' frock - I'm waiting for the lace to arrive ![]() They said "Smile, things could be worse."
So I smiled.................and things got worse.
Re: Men and sewing machinesMy wife and three daughters at one time or another, all worked in the rag trade, so I purchased an industrial lockstitch and overlocker so that they could make their own clothes at home. Being inquisitive I learned how to use them, we no longer have those machine and as my wife is now semi invalided, it is me that does all the sewing on a small normal household sewing machine.
Now when it comes to knitting! That’s another matter.
