I just got a new home 580 for my birthday. I love it. I had one years ago, bought second hand in the 80s and parted with it for bells and whistles modern machine. The regret! Anyway, my daughters clubbed together to replace it and I'm so happy. ❤
I always recommend people look for the Japan made New Home sewing machines, some great machines and in the UK you can pick them up for less than a cheap plastic Singer from Aldi. I bought a New Home XL11 for £25, complete and working, three years ago. Such a great machine.
I've just inherited a (Janone) Novum Mark IV (same as here) from my mothers attic, not used since 1978, and after an initial service checking it over and such it has worked a treat !
@@RevRSleeker They are great machines, I have bought them for my relatives and their children, the mechanical ones are pretty cheap, and easy for a beginner to use.
@@dwarfsbaneironfist2527 Today my mother was reacquainted with it, along with her last useable machine a 'husqvarna' (cannot see model ID unfortunately but an early 1990's model for embroidery I am told) regardless it was all great to see as she's 86yrs now and plainly enjoyed it all immensely..cheerio
I have just discovered you and have been watching several of your posts which are great thanks. I purchased a janome New Home 677 a couple of years ago. I thought it was broken as the needle stays to the left on straight stitch. Great machine I use it mainly for freestyle embroidery. I have an Elna Lotus which was a wedding present and a singer 6105. But now I'm going back in time to treadles now and love them an Improved Family 1885 and a 66.
I've got a New Home 636. I occasionally make sails for my own and friends sailing dinghies. That will probably sound like a very bizzare thing to do but I've been a keen sailor for over 50 years and I worked as a sailmaker for several years in my youth so sailmaking is something I know how to do and I enjoy doing it. I do have a cheap (and very nasty!) Chinese clone of a Singer S20U industrial sewing machine which I've been using but I don't have anywhere to have it set up permanently and when not in use it has to be completely disassembled (including taking the legs off the table) for storage which is a right pain. A lot of the time I don't need the power of an industrial machine so I decided to buy a "semi-industrial" off Ebay and ended up with the New Home. I knew nothing of the brand at the time but the one thing which attracted me to this particular machine is its ability to do 3-step zig-zags which can be useful sometimes in sailmaking (less likely to snack that a basic zig-zag). It's a very nice machine and I've used it quite a lot for light and medium work such as box stitching a loop on some webbing. I've recently been fortunate enough to acquire a machine I've wanted for a very long time - a Read's Sailmaker. I'm currently evaluating whether or not the Read's can replace the industrial. One thing's for sure: I won't be getting rid of the New Home.
I jut got a new home machine model 620 it’s beautiful, but doesn’t have light bulb and no manual too hopefully you have one of those items and make a little tutorial please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How did you find out when your New Home machine was made? I bought a 532 and still looks new even the original pedal rubber feet does not show any signs that they were used. It came with a thread from the 1960/1970s era I checked the thread maker’s archives. I was astonished. ❤
Is there anything about sewing machines you don’t know?By the ay i love the way that machine purrs.I bet that machine could last 200 years if serviced properly.
When I watch your videos I feel like we are quietly sneaking to a special place that no one else know about to see something amazing (which we are)
