Will never trade it in. While I'd like to be able to hem knits, it otherwise does everything I need--a workhorse that's only needed a minor repair once in all these years (because it had been so rarely serviced--my bad). Since March I have made hundreds of facemasks for donate to healthcare workers, low-income moms, and food pantry clients. The 327 is my daily companion--love it.Wendy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771745933018712479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266598423828880102.post-26583468632185642742020-09-07T12:44:02.890-07:002020-09-07T12:44:02.890-07:00I'm the original owner of my Singer 327 cabine...I'm the original owner of my Singer 327 cabinet model, and just had it serviced after all these years of disuse.

It keeps getting the upper thred stuck in the bobbin case and it balls up thred on the bottom side of what I'm trying to sew.i know it's me not the machine.

In '16 I dug in myself and saw the tension assemply's release pin bore on a broken turqouise sliver. I replaced with parts from tension assembly of non-327 and it's less pretty but totally functional again (I' routinely used it for stitching denim and tent canvas).Hibridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775298663694347175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266598423828880102.post-32663043652104236322018-07-18T19:52:11.295-07:002018-07-18T19:52:11.295-07:00Singer.com has .pdf files for many vintage models,...Singer.com has .pdf files for many vintage models, and they allow to download them for free.
