Some questions about the sewing

[Chef]

That's not the best of it....

 

We've also got a 1929 Singer 29K Boot patcher. This machine works flawlessly and can sew through 6mm of HIPS plastic (we've tried it!).

And that's nearly 90 years old!

 

Decent machines are out there...

My mate recently found a superb 99K in a charity shop for a fiver (£5). Complete with the original sales receipt, dated 1935. Stunning item, looks like it's only ever had two needles used on it in it's life (the original pack of needles in their wax wrapper was also with it!).

 

 

Not too sound too much like a sewing machine nerd.... But I can't recommend one enough.
