Billy Wait....MORE TIME FOR SEWING :lol: :thumbup: |

Well on a good note here are a couple pictures of my newest addition to this family. This is Willy 2, as this one is a 1894 version with an electric motor of my Willy (the treadle). We got him at an estate sale last Friday for $44. His cords were really frayed so my DH put a new cord on and he sewed a perfect stitch the first try! I had to take him and run down to Girls Night Out (which I missed) just to show him off - I was so excited! He runs so smooth and quiet it is amazing!
Nancy Look at all the attachments! [ATTACH=CONFIG]187148[/ATTACH] Also got a manual! [ATTACH=CONFIG]187149[/ATTACH] |

Nancy, Willy is very pretty or should I say handsome. Are you going to try and make something?

It doesn't take too long to start smoking, then I don't dare use it any more.
Thanks so much! Nancy Thanks so much for the info! |
Thanks Everyone!!!
Billy, Sorry about the damage. We have been having our share of that stuff up our way too. I have been fortunate that none of the trees in our yard have come down. Also, thanks for the offer. I will probably send you a PM in the next week or so. All her parts are secure in a bag, and she is off the floor, so the dog hair is staying away. She has not been used in about 25 yrs and another week or two won't hurt. ;D. |

I took my machine apart and soaked it. Unfortunately my 5 yr old was playing with the camera. Yes, you see where this is going. He deleted the photos I took. ARGH!!! Needless to say, I have a million pieces in a bag and no blasted clue where to begin. Does anyone have photos of their process or a link to a manual or schematic that I can follow? Thanks for the help. |
