Yesterday I went flea market hunting with a few things specifically in mind. I was looking for some various tools on the cheap, a WWII great coat, and a sturdy sewing machine that I could learn to sew on. Well, the only thing I found was the sewing machine. It is a New Home, if that means anything to anyone in X-Marks land, model 571 it says on the label under the motor. I cant seem to find any info or a manual for it on the interweb. It is an all metal monster with metal gears, weighs about 35 lbs, and I shelled out $15 bucks for it. One of my friends who has worked with a lot of sewing machines got it to run but the bobbin thread keeps getting tangled so I have to figure out whats going on there. I am stil excited though, hopefully i can use this to stitch really light leather and hopefully turn out an x-kilt. Oh, and if any of you have suggestions on how to get the thing to work, let me know. Sorry bout not having pics, cant find the digital camera!
