Sometimes it will start a buttonhole then get stuck and build and enormous nest or it'll start sewing backwards indefinitely! I also find that the underside stitching isn't as nice as the top stitching which becomes a problem when you see both sides.<br /><br />I've been searching for a vintage machine in Toronto, Canada and everyone wants big money, it's hard to find something in the $100 range. I almost bought a Singer 328 but the owner (who acquired it from her deceased aunt and knows NOTHING about sewing)decided she wanted more money. It wasn't even a collector's machine! And despite the fact that she knew absolutely nothing about sewing let alone sewing machines, said it ran and didn't need servicing. All of a sudden, she was a pro.<br /><br />The search goes on.

I have the same problem with my Viking 500, but the Singer with attachment solves that problem.<br />LindaSewingLibrariannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297064581728205842.post-82036769633538023172010-07-26T11:35:26.332-04:002010-07-26T11:35:26.332-04:00Great.
