    Default My Custom Vintage Machine Spool Protectors:>

    A few of you wanted to see pics of my home made spool protectors. I've been busy going through my stash of woolens and wool mix felts. I thought the greens would look great on my green Elnas and 185, the blacks nice on my black Singers, the browns on my mocha 301's and 401, and the pink on my pink Morse. Guess I'll have to get a blue machine next. I think I'm going to make some in yellow, gold and maybe some herringbone types. My machines are going to be spiffy looking:>

    I'm jealous. I just got the ones Sew-Classic sells. My home made ones are terrible.

    I'm thinking of asking $.35 each and a SASE. Until the carpal tunnel sets in. LOL.

    I just purchased today some felts from sewclassic, along with a bunch of other neat goodies. Would definitely have ordered from you had I seen this thread first.

    Hi, Candace, I would definitely order some from you. Are they all the same size?

    All the same size. Basically, the same size as the commercial ones for sale. I have quite a few colors depending on what you'd like. If you want some, PM me:>

    Here are my new ones for today in gold, cream, light brown and turquoise. :> Now I'm going to start wanting to buy machines to match my spool protectors!
