Blossom's Makeover
I purchased this machine at a thrift for $15.00 a while ago. It is a Wards Signature JHT J1277. I knew it was perfect for my lil sis if I could get it all fixed up. She asked for a simple machine easy to use and this one is just that plus it is known as the buttonholer so it will be great for clothing. I will be shipping it out to her next week! Here are the before and after pics.
The decals and paint I bought at Home Depot. The box of Signature accessories came from a member here ( thank you lmc8 they are like brand new!) I had to down load a manual, find a thread guide that we actually found on one of our parts machine. YAY! A little soap, water, oil, grease and viola' she is ready.
I named her Blossom because hopefully she will do just that at my sisters hands and become a very loved and integral part of her home for years to come.

Great job. I have a similar "Sears" machine that I am currently working on. I don't have the case. I like the decals. Do you find those in the paint department at HD?
What type of paint did you use on the case?
I'm sure your sister will love it.
