Thought I would show you what my lovely Husband bought me. I have wanted one forever and finally got one. This model was 1935 going by the serial number I am guessing it was probably the basic model as it has a very modest look compared to some I have seen.
Having fun learning how to use it and hoping it works like a piece of exercise equipment as well as a sewing machine.
I am using scraps of fabric left over from past projects and stitching them on to some pre quilted Calico.
I made a throw over cover for when I don't want to drop the machine back down you have to release the belt to do that and line it up again to set it back up. Thought this design was a fun one.
Hardest thing was threading the needle from right to left instead of straight through.
I think this machine has been well loved and needs a bit cosmetic care but runs like a charm.
Keeping me focused as Hubby is in Hospital and has been in Theatre twice since last Wednesday and I can't visit as no visitors allowed.
I didn't find it hard to get going this time but at school I tried and couldn't do it. Just remember to turn the wheel towards you as you start.
I am sure someone will snap it up if you decide to sell.
I pray that your husband will be home soon and that his recovery will be smooth and pain free. Love Chris
Hubby looks to be in at least another week or 2.
Yes I thought the girl was cute
Love the quilt you are making and the cover for your baby is adorable.
I am liking the scraps on the quilt better than in the bin.
I was surprised at how heavy this machine cabinet was I can't move it as it took 2 men to get it in the room.
I cut the coloured ones 2.5 inches wide and whatever length I could make them and the plain black 3 quarters of an inch wide.
So far haven't had to cut any new fabric just left overs.
