Re: Pillow Case Pattern

Kristi, the 328 K is just about the best Singer since the
Featherweight. It has a metal body, which means it can be fixed
forever. It is so well balanced that even being dropped by moving men
didn't harm it.The only thing that ever made it sew poorly was
brownouts. You put cams in it to do fancy stitches.Most people only
use the straight stitch, zig zag and blind hem.When my brother wanted
a reliable machine,I found him a 328 K that had a zig zag cam, and
photocopied my manual for him.

You don't have to have a 328K manual. It's just the regular oil
anything that moves advice.

In general, machines from the 50 and 60s only need regular cleaning
and oiling, and they will run forever.

Don't overlook the paragraph on making pillowcases by hand -- but buy
a pre-sixties sewing machine instead;

I've seen over and over  people on this group mention older machines -
50's and 60's.  Help me out here - why do you suggest buying an older
machine?  I must admit I don't know much about sewing machines,
although I've been sewing for years.  My Mother recently gave me her
old Singer 328K - can you tell me anything about it?  I learned how to
sew on it, making many doll clothes as a young girl and then clothes
for myself as a teen.  Now, when I travel with my job, I keep a 80's
Kenmore in the trunk of my car - I probably drive my hotel room
neighbors crazy!
