My Mom is so cool. She bought this Kenmore sewing machine in 1998, but she rarely uses it. She's in her 70's and is "de-accessioning" her things. A few weeks ago she mentioned that I could have her sewing machine.Thursday night, when mine stopped dead in the middle of a seam while I was making my Jungle House, I called her and asked, "Can I pick up your sewing machine on Friday?"
Mom had all the manuals and everything that came with it. So I got it home, dusted it off, wound a bobbin, replaced the needle and tried it out. I adjusted the tension slightly, but it sews great. It's a lot quieter than mine.
Crisis averted.
Thanks Mom!

You're a lucky lady. That machine looks like it's in pristine condition. I was raised with a Kenmore machine--just one. I'd be embarrassed to tell my mother how many sewing machines I've called mine over the years. Enjoy, and happy sewing!
Your so lucky. I have a sewing table sorta like your and my friend was able to make s hole in it so my Kenmor sit nicly into the space so now I have a great sewing table. He put in a new fake botton that took him a few minutes to do. I love the space I have to see now. Enjoy your new machine.
That was very kind of your mom - the machine looks brand new! I'm still using a Kenmore from 1974 - and my mother-in-law is still using her 1953 model. Hope this one works out well for you!
