Busy getting ready for November get together -So far we think there are about 6 of us planning on being there and I'm sure that if more show up Perkins would be glad to accommodate. No need to RSVP -- JUST COME - JOIN US


"It is at the Perkins Restaurant at I-25 and Colorado Boulevard n Denver. The reservation is for Saturday, November 14th , at 11 AM. I said probably about 10 to 12 people, although they can accommodate more if needed. More would be welcome. RSVP to this thread if interested.

The Perkins is located with a La Quinta Motel that is just south of I-25. It is located on Buchtel Boulevard. If coming from the north on I-25, Buchtel Boulevard is an immediate right turn after exiting I-25 to southbound Colorado Boulevard. If coming from the south, exit and go southbound on Colorado Boulevard, cross over the highway going south and merge to the right side for a right-hand turn onto Buchtel Boulevard. Look for the motel since it has larger signage.

Great get together - so much fun. Thank you all who came. It is fun to see and hear about others "collecting" and using these great old machines and attachments. Even got to see a Moldacot - I never thought I would ever see one.

Looks like it will be January before we will get together again. I'm already looking forward to it ;-)

Agreed, it was great to see all you wonderful people who love antique machines as much as I do. And that Moldacot... wow, just wow. I didn't think I'd ever see one in person either. I eagerly await the January get together.

Default January 2016 Meeting Notes

We met yesterday for the January meeting. Janey brought a hand pinker and some buttonholers. Courtney brought a very similar hand pinker to Janey's. Janey's is a ConSew Roto-Pink and Courtney's was a Florian. They demonstrated using them on the paper napkins at the restaurant!

Ila brought some sample decals that she can experiment with and practice in re-doing a Featherweight. Probably the star of show-and-tell was Courtney's cute little toy sewing machine. It was a miniature chain stitch machine with a very cute bentwood case, which he repaired and refinished. The machine bears the brand name "ALL". Very well made for a toy.

It was good to see everybody and talk. We are not sure yet about the location of the February meeting but will post it here it as the time gets nearer.

Hopefully I'll be on time for the next one! I loved that tiny little machine that Courtney brought. He does have the neatest little machines.

We were too busy talking and admiring (& eating) to take pictures. Will try to remember next time, but will probably forget then, too.
