I want to sew!!! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Whoa! That is a good price!!!

I was wondering too...on the sewing machine (not embroidery machines)....what is the USB port for? I mean, I know it's for computer use, but can what can you use it for? I know the USB port on the embroidery machines is so you can purchase designs online if you want and then your machine can stitch them. I know the file has to be compatible from what I read. I need to do a lot more research before I buy. I want an embroidery machine soooo bad though. I would love to embroider on this for my home and dog clothing. I have some tulip fabric that my grandmother picked out while we were at the store that is beautiful. She said it reminded her of that poem 'tiptoe through the tulips' and I thought...how cute would that be to make a dress and embroider that saying on it. I'm sure someone has probably already done it, but I want to do it too for KS too! Then let her wear the dress to visit Momaw to see if she remembers.

Does anyone have a machine like this? I'm thinking maybe Kathy does?

Well my Mom has one at her house. It belonged to my great, great grandmother originally. So that means that my great great grandmother, my great grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother have all sewn on that machine! I want to carry on the tradition and sew on it too. My Mom said the last time she tried, it still works. We would need to have it serviced I'm thinking, but I want to make a dress on this so bad!!! How cool would that be to sit down and sew at the place that has so much history in your own family. Just think of all the things that sewing machine has seen!!! I get so excited about stuff like that!

Hi the USB is for downloading different designs, there are free designs and ones you can buy...I think the tulip idea is great your Momaw would be so touched!!!

The CS6000i does not have a USB port... 'computerized' means the controls are touch, not done with a manual turn knob (like on washers and dryers).

Yes I do... and you must! The machine I have I purchased, though I wish it was a hand-me-down. I do think about the generations before me whose have sewn on it, even though I don't know them personally.

These machines were made to last! You may need to replace the leather belt and just clean any dust off the moving parts and oil it well... it'll probably run like a champ! I can post oiling diagrams if you don't have the owner's manual....

It's like learning to drive a manual car with a clutch though. You start and stop with your right hand on the wheel... takes a little bit of coordination and practice. But fun once it comes together! The dress I made for you was sewn on mine. My machine was made in 1896.

My Mother n law always sewed on a machine like that and now her Grand daughter has it. I was not into sewing when she was alive. I wish I would have gotten into it then, she could have taught me so much. I miss her
