"Pathetic."
- 1920s Singer 99 driven by a Miele washing machine motor until over-volted to burnout
(it's actually insane at how durable that was under such a high speed, I concede defeat here good sir)
(I was just trying to find a quantitative stitches per minute for the machine when I came across the that mad lad's video. It was especially cool seeing that they were using a machine from the same era as the one that I own - you can tell by the lack of reverse and graduations for stitch length adjustments. Seriously, though, if you have any interest in sewing, whether for cosplay, or anything else a vintage straight-stitch machine will handle anything you throw at it except for the stretchy fabrics that absolutely require zig-zag or overlock.)
