The Style-O-Matic

Though it wasn’t as expensive as a Slant-O-Matic, the Style-O-Matic and other mid-tier mid-century Singer sewing machines were just as well constructed and run just as well. We shine some light on those machines and also talk about how to clean them up after decades in the dark.  https://prometheansewingmachines.blogspot.com/ [https://prometheansewingmachines.blogspot.com/]  https://youtu.be/azqZ4a261HY?si=HBxn6aU74FuYYkdl [https://youtu.be/azqZ4a261HY?si=HBxn6aU74FuYYkdl]  https://www.lrcrafts.it [https://www.lrcrafts.it] Get ad-free episodes through our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Used2Sew [https://www.patreon.com/Used2Sew]  Buy stickers: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/WYGY99FBLA474 [https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/WYGY99FBLA474]  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Used2Sew/61565705042098/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Used2Sew/61565705042098/]  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/used2sew/ [https://www.instagram.com/used2sew/]  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Used2Sew [https://www.youtube.com/@Used2Sew]  Stagecoach Road Vintage Sewing Machine: https://www.stagecoachroadsewing.com [https://www.stagecoachroadsewing.com]  Logo and music by TR Kelley Editing and production by Aradia A Fox And Raven Media production https://www.foxandravenmedia.com [https://www.foxandravenmedia.com]  Check out other FARM podcasts Autistic Stuff for Autistic People: https://www.spreaker.com/show/asap [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/autistic-stuff-for-autistic-people--6660165]  Podcast It, Donut! https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-it-donut [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-it-donut--6833072]   WoTSpoilers: https://www.wotspoilers.com [https://www.wotspoilers.com]
