My mother passed away a year ago Jan 27. I inherited her Riccar sewing machine. It had been in storage for two years and when I came to use it there were some problems. Our local repair shop checked it out and said it would cost more to fix it than I wanted to spend as I also have another machine. Are you interested in such machines? I also have my sisters Ford machine that only straight stitches now as the gears are stripped. It was sent in to be worked on and as they worked on it this happened. It is freshly cleaned and adjusted it just does not zigzag. I read the article about donating sewing machines in Country Woman magazine. My mother passed away a year ago Jan 27.
