    Yes, we are all glad you are better! Sewing sounds like good therapy to me!

    I can think of lots of ways to use it!!! To begin with, I'd have the nicest sheets and pillowcases in town. . . .
    Wow Miz Johnny, it doesn't surprise me at all that YOU'D know how to use that weird looking machine! I still want to see all your machines someday!

    Anyone in the Reno area looking for a National Two Spools machine should see if they can grab this one.
    It looks like it is in great shape and the cabinet/treadle looks nice too, $125. Just make sure the spool can is there.
    If I lived close by, I would be grabbing this one up.
    Found it in my daily CL wanderings of the States.

    Happy Veterans day to all you who have or are serving! Since I have the day off, I got caught up on all the posts here. Boy have you all been doing well.

    Billy love the quilt in your new avatar. I like the idea of showing what we are working on. But it does throw me off a bit until I figure it out.

    Quiltingguy - so glad for the continued recovery! Keep up the good work and enjoy getting back to a better you.

    Still been good on my machine diet. But you guys make it so hard! :mrgreen:

    SuzieQ, that is the second (for some people the first) most popular machine next to the Featherweight for classes. It is an aluminum machine so it is lighter than most other full sized machines. Does your machine have a short or long bed - the front that lifts up?

    Your machine was made in 1951 in Anderson, South Carolina.

    Please post a picture!

    I would love to find a black 301. They came in Black, Mocha, and a Tan and White I believe.
