Forthcoming Events

The date has been set for the next BIG ONE.Convention Picture

What we confidently predict will be the largest gathering of sewing-machine enthusiasts ever is scheduled for the weekend of October 17-18, 2009 in Charlotte, NC

We are currently talking with the Charlotte Convention Bureau to negotiate the best price and the best hotel available

A whole raft of attractions is being progressed including, of course, a guided tour of Harry Berzack's museum and an organized tour of the fabled Carter Bays collection

All the usual favoiurites will be there -- the row upon row of sales tables and the world's largest vintage sewing machine auction . Over 300 machines changed hands at the last event -- at prices ranging from $10 to $10,000

If you have already contacted me your name will be on a mailing list with the subject line ISMACS Convention USA. To be added to the list, simply send me an e-mail.

You do not have to be an ISMACS member to attend -- all are welcome.

This page will be updated regularly with the latest news
