Go to the Home page and scroll down to Vintage Machine work shop. There are great instructions on refurbushing machines. I have one just like yours that I purchased for $15 with a treadle cabinet. I am restoring both!

Thanks, I will check this out!
Here is the link for the vintage machine section:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual...jsp?vsnum=1013
It's a great section and you will learn so much about your machine. I do have a warning for you :twisted: ....once you buy ONE vintage machine you will then be infected by the very serious virus that causes you to start buying vintage machines, left and right, until you find that you are sneaking them into the house so that nobody knows that you have bought another machine. :mrgreen:
