Hi Suzi! Two of them are for historical re-creation events. I had a great time at one San Jose Historical Society event sewing up a simple apron with my 1890s hand cranked "luggable" Amazon machine. Zillions of boy scouts, little girls, curious parents had to try it. I'd let people crank and I'd sew simple straight seams. Little boys are speed demons & like to crank really fast... when they start competing, time to switch to lecture mode... or distract them by asking if they can figure out how the machine works. And of the rest, yes, the sturdy Singer is for leather, kevlar, canvas; the Viking embroiders; the Babylock overlocks, but the 1940s machine is just charming. No special or unique features. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
