Sewing Machines / Re: Resurrecting an old lady

 The limit on my older machines was the amount the presser foot would raise rather than what it would sew through.  Maybe check that too.

I follow Wendy Dolan on Facebook and there are always updates when she runs either in person or Zoom workshops.  I did a Zoom workshop during lockdown and it was very good.

The Pattern Emporium Walk Bodly pants would be beautiful in a stretch velvet.  The fly front is faux an can be ommited.

The Bernina can easily handle heavy fabrics and I have never had problems sewing cotton - so I don't understand that report.

Amazingly, I am staying at Mount Efraim so really close to Faversham!!

If you are interested we could zoom/facetime and I could demonstrate it for you.

I have looked at the HD9 but  am looking now at the Juki TL 2300 straight stitch because I want to be able to drop the feed dogs.

It is like tetris isn't it, I am wanting a straight stitch only machine hence the need to sell the Bernina.

Where in Kent are you?

It is so cute isn't it.

I did the 'add attachment' but when I clicked Post it hung up.  Are phone pictures too big I wonder?

I have made the wrap jacket pattern and it is beautifully drafted.  I love the Hoodie Parka pattern but really wish they would make their samples out of something rather than black/navy.  I know that is their aesthetic but it does make it hard to see the detail.

I have done it again but with no pictures.  Maybe I am doing something wrong with my attachments.

  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]     [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    I have a 550QE with walking feet and BSR, it is about 13 years old and has been lightly used with a total sewing time of 62 hours- mainly for the BSR.
It was serviced 2 months ago.
It comes with all it's original accessories and box

Slide on table and seam guide

Feet which came with the machine at purchase are:
#1 Reverse pattern foot
#3 Buttonhole foot with slide
#4 zipper foot
#5 blind stitch foot
#20 open embroidery foot
#37 patchwork foot
#42 BSR foot with 3 feet
#50 walking foot with 3 soles

The extra feet are:
#0 zz foot with slit in the front
#10 edge stitch foot
#12C cording foot (designed for 9mm machine but works a treat)
#61 rolled hem foot
#24 open toe FM embroidery foot
#29 quilting foot (wide plastic)
#43 couching foot
#83 circular embroidery attachment
I include if required the extra length knee lift for use with a Horn cabinet
Other things of note
The machine came with a zip up pouch for the accessories but I found this cumbersome and bought a little thing which fits on the back of the machine when not in use. (it only has one door because the engineer broke it when PAT testing.) My daughter has just moved back in with 8 years of stuff plus all her party entertainer things. I know the zip up pouch is somewhere but cannot find it at present but will post to buyer when I find it.)
There are a few damp marks on the inside of the carry bag, from when we had a damp problem from our chimney breast and the empty bag was stored there. It doesn’t smell or anything.
I would prefer collection and live near Southampton.t am travelling to Kent in a couple of weeks so could arrange a rendevous somewhere inbetween.
I would like £700 please
