The last thing the guy that dropped this beast off was “don’t forget to keep your hands clear, that’ll sew through your bones!”
I immediately named her Moopsy!
What a cute little Moopsy 🥺
Why is this in New Risa?
I considered if I should instead there, but I didn’t feel this fell under meme or shitpost. Maybe I made the wrong call on that.
Damn nice find! Full cast iron body, you don’t see stuff like that anymore.
She is a rental for some specialist work where I couldn’t rely on my walking foot, but they offered to sell her to me, and it’s hard not to say yes. The thing is though she’s 160kg! If I buy her I’m forever committing to hiring help to move workshop (which I have to do 1-3 times a year).
Btw she’s a mid 70s LG-158, can be threaded up with two parallel needles, has a walking needle too, which is faster than the more modern 158s and leaves fewer “tracking” marks on leather and waxed cotton than my standard walking foot.
My sister has had an embroidery shop for almost twenty years now and just back in December sewed through her index finger. She was pretty surprised it hadn’t happened sooner (merely based on her work volume).
Any other Friends of DeSewToo?
