Here is my beautiful Memory Craft 6600p after her in home spa treatments.
My Nommi is purrrrring along ... <3
I am sew happy ... :-)
In March I took my Janome
to a Sewing Machine Service Day HERE
Then I just dropped off my machine at the quilt shop
and picked it up three days later.
While she was away, I felt like my right hand was missing.
Afterwards, I sent an email to
anthonyferranti1@yahoo.com
to thank him for his work.
As I use this machine daily, I am advised to have her serviced every six months.
Recently, I received this reminder message via email:
"It's FALL .... time to service your sewing machine!
I provide old fashioned, in home service that is fast and efficient.

How wonderful!
After an email exchange, we set up an in home service visit for October 10th.
I also talked to my neighbor,
whom I knew had recently acquired an older sewing machine,
and I asked her if she wanted to join the Sewing Spa Day Party.
So she brought over her machine in its case.
Her machine is a vintage Singer 401a, circa 1957
My quilty kitty Nutmeg and I were very curious about this machine.
I had never seen one up close before.
It has a slant shaft presser foot ... very interesting!
For more info on this machine,
I surprised Anthony with a photo request for my blog readers
while he was working on my neighbor's machine in my dining room sewing space.
I was very impressed with the straight stitch quality and the speed
of this heavy duty machine.
I am really not in the market for another machine,
but if I ever see a used one of these at a good price anywhere,
I will add it to my sewing machine stable.
I love vintage sewing machines.
In addition to these two machines, my old Singer needed some TLC.
My
Singer Featherweight 221 was
added to my Sewing Machine Stable HERE
Last spring I used this machine as a back-up and found it to be a little sluggish.
When I used this last spring, I lamented not having the extended platform space
like my larger machine, so my hubby bought me a gift ...
this extension table from
It is only black plastic, but it matches my machine beautifully.
Tonight I decided to play with my Featherweight
to work on my Pumpkin Patch Quilt.
I am happy to say Minnie is humming happily along now.
Since I do not use this machine regularly, she will need to be serviced annually.
Sew my Sewing Machine Spa Day was very successful.
If you live in Rhode Island, Massachusetts or eastern Connecticut
and want to have a
Sewing Machine Spa Day in your home,
I recommend you contact Anthony as above,
or visit
You and your machines will feel happy and renewed
and ready to sew... :-)
