lookie what i found. something drew me into my favorite catholic thrift store one day about a month ago and this is what was waiting for me.
an absolutely marvelous, older janome new home sewing machine!
it purrs.
don't think it was ever actually used ~ really.
not a scratch on it. original manual and accessories in perfect shape.
it is tough - sews leather, canvas, thick layers.
someone went to a lot of trouble turning an old desk into a sewing cabinet for the owner, and then it just sat, all alone.
well i have been using it almost constantly -- doing all my piecework on it as well as whipping up some holiday gifts. i don't want my 35 year old husqvarna viking 64 40 to get lonesome, so i do detailed stitching and work that needs a free arm on the viking.
i am having a bit of a time getting used to the fact that the needle isn't centered on the pressure foot -- it is offset to the left. is this typical of a janome machine?
