Pardon the thread drift. I love the title of your thread, but I have to admit, that I wasn’t thinking about sewing machines when I first saw it....

Nice work on the case.

Hm-m-m, maybe I'll do this with my featherweight cases as the outsides are ragged.

Hilary,
You've done a wonderful job so far. I like the buttons paper.
I have a 1936 201k, it was a hand crank machine originally. I like to treadle it better.

What a great idea to cover a nasty case. I have the one for my #221 that still is a bit stinky even after everything I have done to get rid of the smell. Maybe getting rid of the fabric will finally get rid of the smell.

Susie unfortunately I think the smell on these cases is the actual old glue! After removing the old fabric I found quite a thick layer of it! As I sanded it down that distinctive FW case smell was there!! I sanded down quite a lot but I think the smell permeates into the wood! I can live with it!!!
