New To Me: Kenmore
I just acquired an old Kenmore Ultra Stitch 6 sewing machine from a
Freecycler. I cleaned the machine up, oiled it and changed out the needle for a new one. It runs perfectly, very smoothly! I have no idea how old this machine is, but I am very happy with it. It's very basic, with very few stitch functions, but it will be a nice backup machine. One thing I have noticed is that it is all metal, even the casing, which is something I haven't seen on newer machines. Does anyone have any experience of this particular model?

Not that particular model, Gillian, but I have an older Kenmore that is a
real workhorse. Until I got my FWs, it was my only machine and it has made everything from clothes to quilts to coats and jackets. I don't know a thing about the newer Kenmores, but the older ones seem to hold up very well. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "Gothikka" wrote in message oups.com...

New To Me: Kenmore
Congratulations! All I have are old Kenmore machines and I love them. My
serger is a new Kenmore so I guess it is the brand I like? or rather, the brand I can afford. My workhorse is a mid 1060 model with cams and fancy stitch thingy's that aren't really practical at all but as for plain old sewing, she is a dream. ~KK in BC~ "Gothikka" wrote in message oups.com...
