Your posts are so interesting! Thank you! I have a 1980 something Viking Husqvarna 990 with the label “computer.” It was my mom’s, now mine. I don’t think I’ll ever need to replace it, unless the circuit board goes.

Thank you for the description of how a machine works. I am sure this is a very fine machine, but, I have to say that I am thrilled to have purchased today a 1963 Singer Touch & Sew Model 600E. It's all metal, is rather heavy, and is a glorious piece of art! All original feet, plates, and pieces are in the box.

Thank you for this clear, simple explanation of the inner workings of the sewing machine! I thought I knew the basics but I realize now I didn’t really understand how all the components work together.

This is my daughter's little sewing machine! I bought it for her when we all locked down for COVID in 2020. She's managed really well with it but this last month I've been sewing on it and it's driving me nuts because it hesitates when you push on the pedal. Debating whether it's worth having tuned up or if I should just upgrade her. Opinions welcome!!

Hmmmn It’s all about the connections. I know the names of some parts of the sewing machine today, thanks to you.
