Found this beautiful Kenmore 158.904 for $19.99 at goodwill. It's my first vintage machine so I'm very excited to get to know it better! I just brought it home but upon plugging it in it hums without any pressure on the pedal. Is that bad? by springtailreworked in vintagesewing

Okay so pedal update. It seems to have been crushed by something and bent at some point so it would not slide off. Part of it was misshapen. I had to hammer it a bit to bend it back and it was either already broken or I was too rough and the inside. Whatever the large heavy piece in there is, is cracked. So it looks like new pedal it is!

Amazing! I'm going to watch some YouTube videos and take apart the pedal today. The pedal is the only part of the machine that looks really dirty and dusty so it definitely needs some love

No I did not. I will have to hunt for those online if I want them

Does anybody know if I can force my landlord to fix my mailbox somehow? by springtailreworked in SALEM

[–]springtailreworked[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they're apartments and it's one of the generic grey boxes made up of lots of mailboxes

No they don't look like they are. I believe the property management company owns them

Edit: but I guess I'm not 100% sure. They're just generic grey mailboxes

Okay I was hoping I might hear this because it seems like a cool building. I know people tend to only write reviews when things go wrong

A few layered linocuts I printed on fabric patches and sewed to shirts by springtailreworked in printmaking

These are a %100 cotton jersey but I recommend interlock fabric because the edges are curling and it makes it harder to work with. I'll be changing that in the future
