3 Sewing Machines, and Not One Works Properly!

Tweet

All of my sewing machines are old models. One I have had for at least 20 years. The bobbin case won't stay in place. My mother had a small Kenmore model that my sister had. She can't find the cord and none of the cords I have work for it. My newer model that is about 15 years old won't feed the material. I made a mask for my sister last night using the newer of the machines, but it was a struggle to feed the material through. What should have taken me 15 minutes to make took me almost an hour. Hubby said I could buy a new machine. So, after putting together the Easter Baskets, I sat for over an hour browsing the internet in search of a new sewing machine. The one machine that I need is a heavy duty model that will sew thick layers of material. My husband has about 10 pair of jeans that need repair. Also, making the masks requires a machine that will sew layers of cotton fabric without a problem. Do you think I could find one suitable for my needs? The only ones I could find were from places that I haven't heard of. Not going to chance putting my information out there to be stolen by some fly by night business. So, now I sit with my hands tied. I am perfectly capable of sewing multiple masks a day. Our medical facilities, healthcare people, family, and friends are in dire need of masks. There are people who donate materials for those who can sew to make these necessary items. And I cannot help.
