Get an old black Singer sewing machine, one that does straight stitch.
Cheap, and you can't kill it. A model 201 or 15-91, or 301 slant stitch
Hear hear! I adore my Singer 99K, it does everything I want and it's
gorgeous too.

Good Morning All,
I am attempting to help a friend who is having some trouble in drafting a
sleeve pattern for her 16th dress. Awhile ago I ran into a ‘sleeve head’
drafting tutorial on the net: The document wasn’t really a ‘how to’ on drafting
sleeve heads, so much as an explanation of why
I'm curious--and not wanting to start a range war or anything--but is the
Authentic SCA a different organization from the SCA, Inc.?

I have a 15-91 (from 1951, for a bit of confusion) as my primary machine, and I
adore it.
Make sure you get the right bobbins, if you go this route.
The 15 in my machine's name means it takes Class 15 bobbins. The old metal
ones are best, but every JoAnn's sells plastic class 15 bobbins. :)
Yes, you are quite right, Kimiko.
Sorry, everyone, - posting this was a tired man's mistake.

Admittedly not a 16th c specialist, but my impression is that sleeve
heads/shapes, etc. were way different than our current set-ins, and
that set-ins may be a much later construction. So a modern tutorial
might not be ideal.

For a while in the 80s it seemed like fancy computerized sewing machines
were a status symbol among my costuming friends. It seemed like they all
had to have the latest and greatest (and most expensive) electronic sewing
machines out there. Some of their machines did cross stitch almost as nice

This is true, so I guess any historic sleeve tutorial would be appreciated as
well!

The problem is making the sleeve head match the armseye. You should be able
to do this with a flexible ruler and some graph paper. Someone who has
taken the sleeves workshop at Costume College (which I did but have no
useful notes from) might be able to elaborate on the process.

*nods* Yeppers, that was why I was interested in finding the original website,
it discussed some of the 'fit' issues and how certain modifications (depth of
curve, width of curve, etc.) made a difference in this.

AND if you're addicted to magnetic pin-and-stuff-holders (like I am) your
computerized machine will fry from the magnet. Ugh. Give me the old machines,

There is one exception to your statement--Bernina. Bernina computerized
machines do not use magnetic memory, and magnets will not harm them. I've
tried it, and it's true.

Anyone here familiar with the model 830? There is an auction for one here

The 830 is an older model, it is NOT electronic or computerized.
However, everyone who owns one LOVES it. I've known owners to put a new
motor in an old 830 rather than buy a newer Bernina.
It must be a real workhorse.
If you are considering buying this one, see if it has lots of presser

The Bernina Record 830 is a tank. I think Karen and Ricky use them as
shop machines.
