Vintage Machines / Singer Patcher machine shown on Australian Repair Shop
« Last post by Elnnina on April 25, 2024, 11:19:45 AM »Within the last two weeks or so they started showing a new series of Australian Repair Shop and in one episode a very old mucky Singer patcher machine was brought in, in fact it was treadle operated. They worked wonders on this machine, all the rust was removed and it was repainted and then the gold lettering was redone, the treadle mechanism was overhauled and painted black again and of course they got the machine working again. The Australian series is being shown on Sky Really which is channel 144. I know one or two of you have a patcher machine so thought you might be interested. This was episode two of this series and shown on 10th April - they called it a rare machine.

Nothing too exciting. A few metres of cotton for hankies (nice easy projects for bad brain days, I reckon), a chunk of cotton for lining an outdoor wool shirt, some £1/m polycotton for prototyping/fit checks, and some crazy skull patterned polyester which was far too bonkers to ignore
