Congrats! To everyone with new vintage machines. I have enjoyed looking at your wonderful finds. Thanks for sharing.
For those that cut themselves with the rotary cutter, try using the Fons & Porter's Klutz Glove. I got one after getting a small cut. My husband purchased it after watching one of the shows with me. It is a cut-resistant glove that will help protect that non-cutting hand from possible cuts. Only works if you remember to put the dang thing on. :)

I can't tell if this seller is going for the Baroque period or the Italian Renaissance period. It is the first that I have ever seen.

On the right back corner of the top of my 26 threadle white cabinet, there is a small chrome lid around 2x3 inches. I opened it up and it seems to be just a hole. At first I though I though it might be for the belt. There are holes for that. Does anyone have any idea of what this opening could be for? Kathie

Monica, I have seen the Fons & Porter glove, maybe it is time to buy one?
Kathy, no it didn't get stitched, butterflied shut. And, thank you, I am up to date on tetanus!
