Is that pedal set up up to drive the machine, or is it just for looks?
Shadow priest colors unoe.
6/10. Now if it were a model 66, 99, or a featherweight, that would be 11/10.
It’s a 4423 heavy duty, it’s made for bulk and endurance, not for aesthetics
For a modern machine, it’s ok. The current “Heavy-Duty” Singer machines are really more “moderate-duty” and suffer from significant reliability and repairability issues. Yes, it can do zigzags and other stitches out of the box without an attachment but, can it stitch through two layers of 1000D ballistic nylon with a polypropylene sheet as a stiffener without complaining AND double as an emergency boat anchor? My all-metal, 10kg model 99k (portable model) can and it was cheaper and can be converted to use a treadle or manual crank :P.
Seriously, vintage machines are awesome.
We’re talking about a powerhouse sewing machine that delivers blazing fast performance with an overclocked RPM of 1,100 stitches a minute without the need of liquid cooling (the heatsink just drinks water when he’s thirsty).
The 23 built in stitches make it highly programmable in the esoteric Loom-speak language, and it can bootstrap itself with an automatic needle threader, ensuring no performance bottlenecks because of the drop-in bobbin system to prevent jams.
Even under high loads, it can punch through demanding fabrics, and the processing pipeline uses a stainless steel bedplate to feed in the fabics, and if you’re lost at sea it can easily tether itself to multiple seagulls with a single thread, scaling to whales if you go for the multithread option.
Get real dude!
Is that a digital sewing machine? God, I’m so jealous, I want one.
I hope your grandma has good eyes and steady hands. Cuz that much RGB is blinding me.
