That little New Glenwood I just got seems small to me, but I don't know what size is considered 3/4. Anyone who hasn't seen the picture, go look in th Pictures thread. She's a real beauty....those decals are in great condition, and they just glow!!

I have read that some of you like triflow for a lubricant. I have a large 9 needle embroidery machine that has not been used in a while and it seems to be frozen up. Please tell me how you buy the triflow. Is it called lubricant-- how is it packaged-- spray, drip can or what? I have several other machines to fix and those of you who use this stuff seem to be having good luck with the triflow. Thanks for an answer.

Would love to have you in CA, Charlee!! Too bad you can't come. How about coming for the Gold Country TOGA in September?

Since we seem to both be bidding on GW perhaps we should exchange bidder names so we don't compete with each other ...... um too much anyway. :D There's one on GW right now we bid on. We're out bid but that's subject to change. I don't wanna list it here, might give somebody ideas ..... LOL OK, as for your question: In Miriam's thread; You've just gotta love the 'Little Old Ladies' (3/4 size or smaller vintage machine) http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t185449.html on page 3 I posted my Minnesota ~B~ and said I thought it might be a 3/4 sized machine. My reasoning was the same as yours. It's pretty small in the harp area. But Miriam and Mizkaki started running some measurements by me and it's actually closer to a full sized machine than a 3/4 size. Since yours looks really close to the same size as my Minnesota I'll be it measures out as a full size too. Joe |

In my wanderings for work today, I passed an antique mall a good ways from home so I sneaked in for a few minutes on my own time of course... Anyway I saw all kinds of sewing machines - in disarray. There was a black 301 in need of TLC for $99 - I have two at home needing homes anyway so it is still there - a nice parlor type for $700 something - it's still there too. There were hacked up tables a few over priced attachments... I'm looking for a small old time dinette table like from the 1950s. And I'm on the prowl for some old metal cabinets - I've pretty much got most of what I need but you never know... something might fill out the set just a bit.
