Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Jenn, so so sorry to hear of your loss. I am going through some things right now too, but nothing compared to what you are enduring. It sounds like you are everyone's rock right now. So sad when someone has to go so young.

Jennb, I am so sorry about all you and your family is going through. You and your family are in my prayers.
Nancy, I am praying for you and your family too, with all you are going through.

Daisy - go to quiltville.com and look up where someone covered her case inside & out with scrapbooking papers &/or any papers that had a quilting theme using Mod Podge and then a clear coat. It was beautiful. This is Bonnie Hunter's website.
I just finished my Pfaff 130 last night. I thought that I would show a Before And After picture of it. It was in a very neglected state for some time before I rescued it as you can see. Like all Pfaff's it sews fantastic,... now.

Steve, check out the Folkwear patterns. I used to have a lot of them in the "old days".

Grant, FANTASTIC! well done. the face plate is especially nice. I know how hard big smooth areas can be to achieve an even finish. Again, well done!

Thank you Steve. As a fellow restorer, I am sure you do. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that I had not gotten some places with a final coat of wax in the pix I took, but I posted it anyway. This one was a bit of a challenge. But given what I had to start with I am happy with it.

Hey folks,
I just received my Elias Howe Model B in the Mail.
Serial #1193146
It is a Head only but it is in "functional" condition.
Filthy of course (Ebay via estate sale) and stiff, but not frozen.
Shuttle marked "E Howe jr."
Bobbin inside with thread
Spool pin "ganked" over in shipping. (I told them NO Styrofoam, but....)
It is not rusted into the body and is removable so I can straighten it out.
I spent a couple hours using sewing machine oil to clean it and tri-flow to lube it, she now moves smoothly.
Would people like to see photos?
I sort my pics into "Arrival", "Cleanup", "Restoration", and "Operation"
I only have Arrival and Cleanup on this unit so far, let me know what you'd like to see, if any.
