![]() And there, for the low, low price of $100, they not only revived her, they threw in a package of needles. Finally, a few weeks ago, I bundled her up and trotted her down to the sewing-machine repair shop. Intermittently I’d take her out, vainly hoping that by re-threading yet again she’d magically recover. One of the loopers was hopelessly out of position.Īnd there she sat for about two years. Everything sewed just fine-but the loops didn’t form. I freaked out, ran around the room, eventually figured out the problem and got the blade in place properly, but the damage had been done. I somehow put it down halfway.Įverything locked up in a terrifying grinding machine-screech. Then I went to put the blade back down and serge something normally. It worked fine, although there’s not a lot of room to the right of the needle/blade to maneuver fabric, so it’s really not much use. I can’t even remember why, except that I knew the blade could flip up and I wanted to see how it would work. Then, about two years ago, I tried serging without the blade. In her favour, she serged just fine for me for the first three or four years I had her, even though I didn’t even know how to thread her properly for most of that time. Whatever manual she came with has long since been lost, and my efforts at finding one online have come up completely bust, so I really have only the sketchiest idea of how to use her. I wrangled her out of my mother-in-law five or six years ago (possibly to my sister-in-law’s disappointment, although she got the regular machine and doesn’t use it as far as I can tell). ![]() I’m guessing she dates to the late 80s or early nineties, when my mother-in-law used her to create figure-skating costumes for my sister-in-law. She has neither the range of features of a new serger (4-thread setup, differential feed, easy to thread) nor the charm of a truly vintage machine (though as sergers go, I guess she’s pretty vintage). ![]() ^ 'Introducing: IPS Community Suite 4!'.I would like you all to meet my long-neglected serger, Janomelock JL-603A, to be precise.^ 'Release Notes - Invision Power Services'.^ 'Perpetual licenses being done away with'. ![]() ^ 'Invision Power Board 3.0.0 and Applications Released'. ![]()
