Hello All!

This is really a bit funny due to my circumstances...

I strted out with my Mother´s old Singer. It was reliable and worked for decades, as those old ones did... I hadn´t sewn for many years until my wife asked me what i would like for Christmas one year. She gifted me an AEG 110 that i used quite a bit for 2 1/2 years until it needed service at which point the local shop would not service it because the worth was not there...

At this point i bought, through Ebay, an old Singer like my Mother had although it needed a little service.. For 1 euro i went out on a limb and tried my hand, after informing myself with groups, Youtube, etc. and cleaned and oiled. Works like a charm.

I then started to do the same with other machines, simple servicing, etc.. that has given me the chance to use many machines of various type.

Though i do sell off my maschines, once fixed (should have kept the Singer 5511) i have 3 that are definitely "my maschines" - and old Pfaff 94, a Pfaff 155 Smarter and A brother anniversary (or the Bernina 280...)
