Sue Vunesky at cabincreekstudio.com gives lessons, located at Warrenton. Erlbacher Gearhart in Cape Girardeau, MO makes and sells new machines. they have a website and I know lots of people have bought from them since they started in 2011. they other manufacture is in New Zealand. I bought my 1st vintage restored from her, but she makes new ones, NZAK. There are 'crank-ins' at various times/places thru the year. I am going to one in Butler, MO on Jan 25, 2014. If you want more info about it or want to attend to see what we are doing, let me know & I can give you further details after the holidays. They are fun and frustrating at the same time!!! I have socks to make for Christmas so better get busy this week.
