The Brother Flair-a-matic 190

I purchased this machine six years ago for $15.00. I always brag about how good it runs, but never use it. Since it weights 35 pounds it is hard to get out from under my sewing table where I store it.
But today I drug it out to see how it would sew
on a heavy duty job. I did not want to break my Bernina trying to
sew through too many layers of heavy fabric. This Brother Flairamatic did a great job.
So I will be using this one often now!!
This Brother Flairamatic model 190, was made in the late 1950's.
