Machines For Sale
Bernina Record 930 Electronic

This is a classic and versatile machine. The stitches are beautiful and consistent, and it doesn't hesitate to sew through layers of thick fabric. Being a top-of-the-line machine when it was sold, the construction is solid, it's quietly powerful, and has lots of built in extras. Includes a set of vintage BB and 7-hole bobbins, 10+ Bernina feet, owner's manual, and more. Vintage walking foot available separately upon request.

Singer 206k25
$180
The 206 was Singer’s first domestic zigzag machine - the “bight control” mechanism (space age looking mechanism above the stitch length lever) controls stitch width and needle position. It has a special large capacity bobbin (L-style), and that paired with the strength and speed of the machine prompt some to call it semi-industrial. The 206 is unique in that it used special needles with a shorter point than the standard 15x1 needle. In its original form, it took ONLY 206x13 needles. This particular machine is able to use either kind of needle - I am including both the original bobbin case and a new-style one that allows you to use normal needles.

Singer 221 Featherweight
$550
This machine needs no introduction. Lightweight, smooth, consistent stitches, compact and portable; there’s a reason this one is popular. This particular machine was made in 1952. It has some accessories, the original bobbin case, button style foot control, manual, and even a service record from the ‘50s. Everything is in clean, working order including the case latches and key for the case. This one is beautiful and clean and ready for you to show off at your next quilting retreat! As a side note, I picked up this machine from the original owner’s son, who shared that his mom was a refugee from communist China who bought the machine soon after she came to America.

Dressmaker SWM-1000
$120
This is the DE LUXE Push Button Zig Zag. The story goes that this model was part of a nationwide prize promotion, where "winners" could send in $69 and get this machine - possibly a little scammy, but fun history! This machine is in beautiful condition and looks like it hasn't sewn many seams in its life. It comes with a solid carrying case, the original manual, and a handful of vintage bobbins.

Singer 185k

This 3/4 size green machine sews a beautiful straight stitch. It was made at Singer's Kilbowie factory in Scotland in the late 1950s, and is almost identical to the Singer 99k (just cosmetic differences). It comes with a custom made wooden base and will be ready to sew as soon as you take it home!
Elna 62c

This Elnasuper is part of the beloved Elna star series produced during the 1960s and 70s. It's a fast, smooth rotary hook machine with 6 built in stitches including an automatic buttonhole feature. It is cam ready (One cam included). While it is cosmetically a little rough around the edges, this is a strong, quiet, versatile machine. Perfect for a beginner, novice, or pro sewist.
