Your machine was made in Italy. I, too, gave mine away (dummy me). I had it for almost 40 years and it never, never needed to go to the repair shop. I oiled it faithfully and it served me well. It was in a cabinet with a knee control. I have a fancy Viking and I love it, but I would take that Necchi back in a minute. Mine had cams. Enjoy your steel treasure--not a lot of plastic in those machines.

The lady I got it from said it would sew any material, that is why she got it. She had to be sure that what she used was good because she was using it on her husbands parachutes. Now that is faith in not only your sewing ability but your machine! And faith in your wife also! Wow

Have you ever visited Billy's (Lostn51) Vintage Sewing Machine Shop on this board?
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43881-1.htm
It's where most vintage sewing machine collectors on this board hang out. We post photos of our latest vintage finds, drool over what others find, and get tips and such about all of the different everything and anything there is to know about vintage machine. To date, there are only 1263 pages. Start at the beginning or at the last page, post a 'hello' and then just follow along.
Let me warn you though... it can get addictive and everyone will want you to post photos of your Necchi. :-D

I just got a Necchi 3577 from a 90 year old woman who can no longer sew. It didnt come with a manual and i can't find one online. I just need to know how to thread it on the top and know which way the bobbin should wind in the case. I would like to have it working so I can pass it onto someone who doesn't have a machine. I also got an old MW J1265 from her. Am I crazy?
