Hi...Another QB Newbie here
Hi All,
Not sure what to write here so I will just go with the flow and write what comes out.
I started sewing again after twenty some years hiatus and decided this time around I would teach myself the proper way and not do a mediocre job sewing garments and it is/has been a fun learning curve delving into the vintage era and learning haute couture sewing techniques.
I love how sewing vintage clothing on my vintage machines takes my mind to a happy place in the Andy Griffth, Donna Reed kinda way and the fun of learning how to use the various attachments I have collected this summer. The most intriguing attachment I have at present is the fierce looking Hemstitching and Picoting foot that I have yet to try out. The machine it came with needs a new motor and foot pedal, other than that it's a cute little green gorilla finish White Rotary. I can't wait to get it running and use it along with all the attachments it came with.
I have a variety of machines that date back to bygone eras. My oldest to date is 106 and my youngest was bought in 1983.
I tried to do a photo album only after I got done with the descriptions and hit the save button I got logged off.
Oh well.....I'll try another day to do that.
I guess that's about it for now. I have sooo many questions on restoring machines and getting certain parts for them I will post them in the machine sections rather than here.

Thank You,
It's nice to meet everyone so far. I've been in the vintage machine photo thread most of the day getting educated on (ok,ok I was secretly shopping in my mind for) all the beauties there. It is some pageant of spectacular machinery. I can't wait to have some of mine scrolling down the runway page. Maybe I'll figure out how next week after I pick up my next couple of adoptees.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.
