Semi-urgent question!

Posted by Ursula Schrader on June 7, 2009, 1:08 pm

As I'm currently looking for a new machine, a portable one, I've read - of
course - Kate's article about buying one. Husqvarna is rated OK, does any of
you know about this Husqvarna 2000 model?

The offer is on for two more days and it looks good to me. Don't know if
it's worth bidding though, but I want something with reliable fancy
stitches.

I did a bit of digging and discovered it was a 1960 era model, so it
should be a solid machine.

I guess it would depend on how easy it was to find parts. I know that I
was advised against buying the 6440 model at one time because of parts
availability.

The nicest thing about the older mechanical machines is that there is
very little that can go wrong with them, barring dropping them from a
height. If the "innards" aren't plastic or nylon, they should withstand
general wear and tear.

Interesting that this should come up right now. Prewsently, on my local
Craigslist, there is a serger. Elna Club 4D. 4/5 thread serger $125.00

I have never had - nor particularly wanted - a serger, but if this is
thought by the group to be a good buy I might just splurge. What do you
all think?

If this is the one -
http://neworleans.craigslist.org/art/1208245811.html - I would say that
it certainly deserves consideration. It would do anything you wanted,
other than coverstitch, which may be more trouble than it's worth. If
it's in good running order, and from the tone of the ad, I'd guess that
it is, it sounds good to me. You could try offering her $75, just to
see.......

To be clear, I'm not familiar with the make/model, but with sergers, I
don't know if that's important given that they're all made by the same
three factories. ;-)
