Home Sewing
Does anyone know the worth of a Precision Westinghouse sewing machine "American Home" .?
It is an antique turqoise color that has "American Home" on the front of it. Deluxe precision built. I don't know the year. Are they very common? I find Free Westinghouses but no Precision sewing machines. It has the # 32 on the bottom of the machine and is in it's case. I don't know if it works, I think it needs to be serviced before I try to turn it on. If anyone knows about this machine, I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!
One of the BEST ways to find the value of anything like that is E-bay. Just go to E-bay and type in the model number in the search box. You might have to spend a few days looking if it is uncommon, or use their 'watch' feature and get e-mails when one comes up for bid.
I do it all the time for a variety of items.

Yes, there is a power when buying a sewing machine. By power, this means that you have every right to ask, test, or compare the machine before buying it. If you are a lover of sewing, sewing for hours on end is normal. Therefore it is just right to find a sewing machine that could keep up with your sewing habit.
First of all, don't be pressured by the sales agent selling the sewing machines. We all have the same experiences with sales agents that we bought something that they wanted us to buy from them. Well don't blame them if you purchased something you didn't like after all. It is their job to convince you, but you have the power to take charge of the situation. Learn how to say no to them by also knowing what you really want in a sewing machine. Tell the sales agent what features do you want in the machine. In this way, you will know if the sewing machine they are showing you is the right one.
Don't hesitate to try on each sewing machines from different stores before finally selecting the perfect one for you. You can ask the sales agent some questions about the sewing machine that are not clear to you. The best thing is bring a fabric or two for testing. This will help you to compare the performance of each machines.
Use your power when buying a sewing machine. It is your right as a customer and this may avoid problems to arise when you start your sewing at home on the new machine.
