SEW: new machine 3342 Singer

 as posted here in the sweater blanket post my machine broke down and too tedious for me to repair and too expensive to have it done professionally. More than the $150.00 for the new one so.

It sat in the locked truck over night I waited until I saw one of the men below and he brought it up for me. I tipped him 2 bucks- all I had.

the thing weighed a ton- the packing must have weighed 20 lbs as the machine itself is manageable 









cord needed to sit in the sun to smooth out

This is what caused the need

timing off and broken needle.

It can do 32 stitches. I saw on youtube a hint to make a stitch book so you can see what's what. You sew say 4 samples same stitch different length stitch etc on a square of material. Double thickness and make a book of stitches- writing above each the settings used. So  I went to Ben Franklin thinking a solid blue sewn with bright yellow thread would be good. No solids at all. No blues. So I settled for a red that looked like water stained satin. On closer inspection it looks tye dyed and I love it. now to do it LOL
the material.
