the 319 was my first vintage machine and I now have 34, so buy at your own risk........you will love it---it is an incredible machine!
|
it is still there...still $70....and NO, I am not going to get it...I have 3 treadles to work on right now..no room for another machine..hehehe
BUT, if somebody else wants it..I can go get it, but you have to come and pick it up...that cabinet won't hold up to shipping! |
This is a fun machine to work with. One big tip you have to abide by- This takes a diferent needle then your other machines. it is refeared to as a swing needle. The tip of the needle below the eye is shorter then a conventional needle- you can find them on line for around 10.00 per a pack. If you use a regular needle you will damage the boobin carrier and case without even knowing it.

It is a Singer 319. if you like to sew fast---this is the baby for you ! bobbin replacement is awkward. I have a green one.
also take a 206 x 13 needle. not too hard to find, but not at your local store either. all metal, dependable. |
That's really good price for a 319...I don't know why you'd think otherwise. I love mine. One of my favorite machines!

I found this at our local thrift shop..the cabinet is in bad shape, appears to have sat in a barn/garage and the veneer is shot.
I have NEVER seen a zig-zag machine like this one. BUT it has a ton of attachments, books, etc. THey want $70 for her, but that is way too much if you ask me. Interesting non-the-less! well, it looks like I am going to have to learn to resize photos first...dang it... |
It is such an interesting machine! If you have the money and (this board has the know how) if you want it buy it. That's a good price. It doesn't look like it will take too much work till you can play with it.
