My daughter needed a formal dress for Halloween, so we bought one at a thrift shop. It was too small so I added eyelets in the back so she could lace it up. She wore another shirt under it so that there was no skin or underwear showing and we were…

Yes, thanks for the help!

Thank you so much--it may have taken a while to answer, but it also took a while for me to check back--so we're even! I also own an old Borletti sewing machine, in it's own console; I have been able to get it running, but cannot seem to…

I see you have waited a long time for this answer but I know for a fact that most Kenmore sewing machines are now made by Janome. I hope this helps better late than Never

>> sigh << Please accept apologies for the typos in my July 09 post. Proof reading obviously fell short.
Bonnie's posting about Kenmore's is as is known to me. Currently Janome is at the upper end of the scale of machines to…

Phyllis is right about Sears using different manufacturers over the years. In the 80's I know Whirlpool made most of the Kenmore kitchen appliances; in the 90's(and currently,as far as I know)Janome makes Kenmore sewing machines. I have 2…

Laura is correct to my knwoing. My first Kenmore, a something something 71 - bought early 1958 to sew my maternity clothes, was made by White.
I learned to sew on my mother's floor deomstartor White console she bought for $90.00 (?) circa…

In Canada many of the more recent Kenmore machines are made by Janome. I have a Kenmore model that is very similiar to a Janome DC3050 which my niece has. There are a few things that are different like the layout of the stitches. But all the Janome…

To my knowing various companies made "Kenmore" machines for Sear's over the years. Sometimes the differences between the other brands is slight. Other times at a greater scale.
Much like the low & high end machines of other…

How are you coming with your machine? I'm still having problems finding a belt for the Borletti machine that I bought. I haven't given up though, by a long shot!
Store Brand Question
Many years ago, my mother's neighbor said that she absolutely had to go to a certain store, like Sears, Montgomery Ward, etc., for different appliances. She told me that the store brand appliances and electronics were actually made by brand name companies, who put the store brand logo on the machines. The point being, store brand appliances were exactly the same as the brand names but in most cases, were a lot less expensive.

Lana said… - Thank you! Wow! What a responsive group. I was just telling someone else that now that i am retired, I will have time to play. But I can't see where I ever had time to work!! I am really looking forward to buying some informational material on my 221. Everything in my case seems brand new. I bought it at an estate sale for some people in the Duluth Heights who have more money than they will ever know what to do with. The machine looks unused. I was proud of ownership, and, now, after joining this group, I am looking forward to using it. I will try to keep in touch. Thanks again!
