920's need to be properly lubricated with Tri-Flow and, after 40 years, they need a few inexpensive parts, which anyone who is reasonably handy can install. New rubberized feed dogs are easy to replace and you need to put a new fiber washer on the upper main shaft (a fondue fork works.) There are 2 versions of 920's and one is 'transitional' with adjustable feed dogs. The bobbin winder lift cam is another small part that is easy to replace-it always eventually breaks in half and then bobbins don't wind anymore. These parts are necessary to keep the motor from vibrating against the frame. The motor mount and 2 bushings are 3 small plastic parts that turn into broken orange shards. Hello, Futura II 920 owners: FYI, there are several small, but very important parts that must be replaced as a matter of basic maintenance. Not! Well I have vented enough for today, have a good one and happy stitching! Delete And those goes for those wood workers that claim they make their own wood pieces. I don't know about you, but I want to see true art work come back to life again. If I wanted a store bought look, I will go to the store not the art show. Years ago I was the only seamstress permitted into the art shows that were juried. They should be forbidden to enter the shows. I hate going to art shows and seeing picture perfect embroidery that they claim they made. A true artist does not rely on a machine that you push a button and walk away from. Then those fancy feline models would take you ages and a ton of money to work out all the details they present before you finish your project. Those fancy stiches make you clothing look ridiculous - you can tell they are handmade. I always tell people all you need is a good straight, zigzag, button hole making machine period. The best, I just make my own adjustments and they are very reliable to say the least. I make gorgeous things with the good old Futura 11, 920's. Take it from a pro, it is how you sew! Period! You don't need half the gadgets the other machines have. Forget the sergers, you need to buy 5 or more spools of thread for one project.
I can't stand the cheap new machines, even the ones that cost thousands of dollars. Haa! I am a professional seamstress that does not do alterations. I have one for this and one that works better for that. I own 4 of them, best machines they ever made.
