What do you know..?
I inherited a Riccar sewing machine from my mother. It was given to her by a quilting friend, years ago, who got a new machine. I am new to quilting, started last Feb. Since I joined the QBI have not seen this brand of machine mentioned. Can anyone tell me anything about it. I sews beautifully, it is capable of FMQ, which I have not mastered. I have all the attachments, lots of bobbins, etc.

Baconbit,
The first two links on this page are about Riccar:

They might tell you something.

I have a Riccar RZ-208B. It is a nice solid machine, no plastic gears. Rather noisy compared to some of my other vintage machines. The feed dogs do drop but I have not tried it for FMQ.
