We believe older machines are better, but are they? Or are we just getting caught in survivorship bias? #Sewing #SewingMachines

We're working on content for a class we'll be teaching at a local fabric shop next month and want to make sure we're not missing some obvious stuff.
What are some of the most common problems you have when you're using your sewing machine?
Huqvarna-Viking makes a great machine, but they're a pain to get into. In this post we share how to get into a HV Classica 100.

Sometimes we relate a little too closely with a machine.
Lookin' put together and cute on the outside, a bit of a mess on the inside, and totally gonna be OK with some work.
Sometimes the hardest part about fixing a sewing machine is just getting into the damn thing.
Yeah, we're looking directly at you, Husqvarna-Viking. You know what you did. 👀
"Sewing machines sold since 1980 are made with ever more plastic parts and lower quality metals. Simultaneously, the introduction of computerized models, which look fancier, drove a perception of superior quality. A perception happily exploited by the manufacturers who were actually turning out machines of decreasing quality and durability."
We wholehearted endorse this blog post!
We're now selling refurbished #SewingMachines!
Don't buy new; save a great machine from a premature death.
Every machine is professionally serviced and comes with our 90 day limited warranty.

Those days when we're able to revive a machine* that was at death's door are the best days.
Sure, it'll have a few quirks from here on out, but whom amongst us doesn't? 😉

You should use a stretch needle when sewing knit fabric and a sharp needle when sewing woven. But what if you're sewing both at the same time? #Sewing #SewingMachines
I don't think I shared these ones either, my mum gave me them for Christmas

Holy fucking shit though, you know how you lucked out into a good machine?? Back in my youth I got an overlocker for a Christmas gift, it was several hundred euros at the time even on sale... And I've been using it for decades. AND THEY STILL FUCKING MAKE IT! You could buy a new one, today!
Wow. It's the Singer 14SH654 and it's just. In supermarkets, still. It's not the best and is a bit fiddly about how you thread it, but I've never once had to take it to be repaired...
