For my vintage and antique machines, I went to relics.com and then to the International Sewing Machines & Collectors Society website. Can't remember the link. A google search of vintage sewing machines or antique sewing machines will give you some links. I'm the owner of: 1919 New Home rotary electric sewing machine; 1942 Kenmore zigzag sewing machine with cams; 1381 Pfaff decorative stitch machine with IDF; 935 White sewing machine; PE-100 Brother embroidery machine; 7570 Pfaff combination sewing / embroidery machine; 4874 Pfaff 10 thread serger. Just donated to an organization that works with welfare moms: 1960 Singer Daisy sewing machine; 1962 Singer Touch & Sew: 1958 Kenmore in walnut cabinet with cams; and a 1987 Babylock 4 thread serger. All of the donated machines were given to me by people who know I love to sew but didn't have space for them. The other machines have either been gifts or were purchased. All of them are in good working order. Happy Stitching! Marty It takes one moment to change a life.

There are Yahoo Groups for almost all of the common brands of older machines, and the Wefixit group for hobbyests who like to learn how to fix their own. Bill Holman |

Sharie, I still keep hoping for a sewing room one day. All of the machines sit among the antiques in my living / family room which also doubles as my sewing room. Oh well ... at least DH doesn't mind my collection. Happy Stitching! Marty
