Default Hi, from North Carolina

Hi, I am glad to join your group after "lurking" for the past month. I am a self-taught sewist of children's clothes (four granddaughters) and outdoor gear. My late mom was an expert garment maker for her and my four brothers.

I love to collect and work on vintage sewing machines and have a collection of vintage Singers, Kenmores, and Japanese clones totaling 23 machines to date. My current favorite to sew on is my Singer 500A "Rocketeer" that I got at a thrift store for a song. I am interested in understanding and learning about quilting.

Thanks for having me!

John Thomas

Welcome from Southern California. Sounds like you are going to enjoy hanging out in the section for Vintage & Antique Machine Enthusiasts. Hope you find as much inspiration as I do from this site.

@Tartan, I used to live in Canada - it seems like a million years ago! (1971)
