I was offered a pick stitch (unknown brand, but it's old) for $800 and in trying to figure out if it was a good deal, came across a newish AMF Reece Deco 2000. No price listed and can't find one anywhere. Don't know if I should get this machine or not; seller has some other really cool things that only novelty houses had -like a pinch tuck sewing machine; it sews pin tuck sized tucks together intermittently. It was so weird that I had to get it.

I'm been searching through the archive trying to find one. Is it just a back stitch with a large stitch and small bite using a thick thread? I apologize if this is a stupid question. I'm not a tailor, but an amateur very interested in learning.Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436879775356932574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233561143856860698.post-51698423549144670272011-02-27T00:47:45.166-05:002011-02-27T00:47:45.166-05:00It seems to me then, considering the high cost of ...It seems to me then, considering the high cost of a decent machine, the speed and the varying qualities, that this is at least one of the things probably better done by hand.Roger v.d.
