Sewing

If you look closely at any good model builder's work, you will not be able to guess the material from which it was made. This is a combination of well-fitting parts, precise cuts, and good finishing techniques. This said, I will say flat out that I am partial to cardboard as a building material. It is abundant, free, and as close as your nearest dumpster. Much of what theatrical model builders use is illustration board, which is like really thick cardstock. Sometimes you can get away with substituting corrugated board. There are many different kinds of cardboard, with variations in number of ply, durability, amount of glue, style of courrugation. Familiarize yourself with these to find the right kinds to fit your needs. Also, the magic of paper mache never ceases to do the trick. Recipe for the glue: mix cornstarch with cold water, pour into boiling water (one box will make about a large soup pot). Soak cardboard in water to separate the plys. Then rip up the material and saturate it in the glue. Voila.

use the remains of broken toys,toothpicks,bottles,eraser,pencils,paper etc...for better perfomance and looks<sanadhjasser>

There are so many different ways to make a purse, I hardly know where to start. If you want to make a leather purse, I would suggest you purchase a kit from Tandy leather company. To make a fabric purse, there are many excellent patterns available at your favorite fabric store. You can also find many online at pattern companies such as Simplicity, McCall Vogue, and Butterick. A site called FreePatterns.com has a couple of easy to make patterns for purses.

On the lighter side

To make a silk purse, buy one pigs ear......

can you tell me what a sears challengesewin machine is worth mode 32/607

Unless it's a negligible amount of pink, nothing will turn pink to a true green. Green added to pink will result in a brown. Anything else added will move it toward a violet or an orange shade.

An electric sewing machine does it's work by using electricity to move the needle up and down, and rotate the bobbin.

The mechanical parts of a manual sewing machine, had to be set in motion by turning a handle, or pedal.

An electric sewing machine has an electric motor attached to these rotating parts, by belt or gearing and operated by a foot switch.

This makes it less tiring on the arms or feet, you can keep sewing faster and longer.

There can be several reasons: - Lack of lubrication - Thread wound around the hook or balance wheel - Motor belt too tight (binding) or too loose (slipping) - Wrong supply voltage - Bent internal part

I bought this model not long after I graduated from High School and before I went to work at Sears. I graduated in 1971 and worked at Sears in 1973 and 1974, so I think it was probably in 1972. I still have mine and it still sews perfectly. You can find some of the parts online. I did have to replace the friction wheel on the bobbin winder and the foot controller.

I don't know which pattern or even which November (2007?) you are referring to,

but there are at least two places on the web that have collected some of the Walmart patterns. Look here:

First - it appears 2142 is a style not a model. The model number is on the front in a black and silver plate under the machine but in front when you lift it from cabinet. Get that number then go to Sewing Parts Online (linked below) and order it.

The Singer 245-3, 245-2, and 245-1 were all mid 20th century single thread lock stitch sewing machines designed for commercial or industrial use. With their extremely heavy duty construction, some are still in regular service today. Market value for one of these machines in good running order is approx $300-500.

This will depend on the age of the machine, the type or model and the shape that the machine is in. Most people asking this question are referring to the old tredel-type machines. Many were made, most are still around. When I had mine apprased the value was $300. Mine is in excellent shape, still works great and has all the accessories.

Just like they do now, except foot powered. Flywheel connected to paddles, band of leather connected to drive shaft. The bobbins and internals have changed minimally.
