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

*blush* should've checked on the spelling of Birbari's name, thank you for
the correction! I like her for a couple reasons, although you are right;
she is limited. I appreciate the time she spends analyzing styles (like
the sheer overdress) that in the survey
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
feet--

Oh, good to know! Bernina was always my favorite, and I'm in the market for a
new machine.

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.

*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.

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.

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

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.
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.?

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.
