Helen Howes Sewing Machines
Not everything is online - I have a job to get it uploaded fast enough, but I do try to have only actually-available items on the site..
I've bought a big pile of soggy machines, lots of good parts for mid-Century heavies arriving in the boxes by the hour..
Updated most recently:-
Machines For Sale - lots of new stuff
Locks and Keys
Hand Cranks
Needle Plates
Bobbin Plates
Needle and Bobbin Plate Sets
and I'm working my way down the lists.. I'm also scanning and remaking manuals of all kinds for reproducing, notably for Willcox and Gibbs chainstitcher, and the older type Jones CS. So, not totally idle..
I keep a Wants list - if you can't find what you want please ask...
I now take credit/debit card payments - please see the Ordering page for details.
PLEASE NOTE - the GB Post Office has put prices up substantially, particularly for Packets (anything over an inch thick when wrapped is a Packet), so postage rates will be higher.. However, if you add items and have them posted together, the weight bands are higher, so there is a saving..
I'm also getting very good at packing Thinner, but there is a limit..
Now gathering email addresses for a Newsletter - just an odd email when I do major additions or rejigs of pages.. And the newsletter people get discounts or special offers
Email me on helen@raindropkites.co.uk to be added to the list. No selling-on or spam, I promise..
