I use the Pattrenmaster. It has a hip curve, arm Syce, right angle, grading ruler etc all in one tool. I got mine through Amazon from Fred Aldous and it cost about £10.

I wonder why the imperial is more expensive than the metric.

Is the flexible curve worth having?

I've got some of those wooden Sylko reels as well
but I can't claim a relative in the Royal enclosure - wonderful to still have her dress from that time.

In hindsight I think it was the Sphinx decals that attracted me rather than the treadle and I just posted here on impulse.

Now I do not need a treadle sewing machine, but

I have just seen a FB post about a Singer treadle (with sphinx decals) refurbished and working - price £120.

Would this be considered a reasonable price?

Good find.  I'd say they didn't realise what they had in the shop.

I thought charity shops checked things nowadays. They really slipped up there.

I'm afraid that my machines live in any vacant space which will accommodate them!  I'm looking at a 201k under the desk, a 66k in a cabinet at the back of the office, 99k lives at the side of the bureau, others live in the front office (which doubles as a sewing room).

At home I have my 611g in a Horn cabinet (set up for buttonholes), Pfaff 1475 go to machine is left out on the desk, as is, the Pfaff C/Stitch/O/locker.  A Bernina 730 lurks at the back.

I'm sorry to say, that if I want to buy a covetted Featherweight, I will have to re-home a few machines, but which ones

Still here. Still working.

Working at enjoying the 'process'
Working at seeing mistakes (even stupid ones) as a learning experience
Working at seeing multiple pattern pieces as multiple opportunities to refine fit
Working at remembering that, if I do it properly, I only have to do this once and I will have a jacket pattern I can use again and again
