This bag can be carried in its’ bag as a hand bag, a shoulder bag or a back pack. It comes with the bag pluskateazy kate with two extra bobbins. The overall weight is 11.4 lbs in the bag. Because of the larger wheel and not changing the pulley, the ratio’s became higher, but Victoria’s from production series will have ratio’s varying from around 6:1 to 14:1. The wheel is scotch tension. Bobbins are approx. 3" diameter and 4" long overall. ONE ONLY with bag for $650.

Shipping is not being charged on many orders. If that is the case with your order, you will be sent an invoice for the shipping cost. If you are overcharged by the shipping calculated by Paypal, you will be refunded the excess amount.  We apologize for the bother but it takes a long time to make the changes every time USPS, UPS, etc. change their prices and it isn’t always calculated when we have put it in.  This is the difficulty with selling a wide variety of merchandize.
