Glenn, it looks wonderful. Have you done much sewing with a HC yet? I bought one this past winter and plan to bring it up to the cabin this summer. I haven't done any sewing on it yet. My great-granddaughter is coming up for a visit and I hope it will be a good machine for her to start learning how to sew. She wouldn't be able to reach a foot pedal and I'm a little nervous about the needle going too fast and her getting hurt. I just love the look of a HC..... excited for you.

Skip Ps I would get a finger guard to install on them for the little ones. Miriam knows about them and I think she said she gets them from sew classics |
That's a good idea. I checked sew classics and they are really inexpensive. I need another 1/4" foot for my 221 and more tri flow oil and grease. I'll make an order this week. They are a great site.
Thanks for the encouragement about teaching the little ones on the HC. I need to get it sewing smoothly before she gets here..... I'll be asking questions if I have any. |
Sorry, I don't have facebook.

Moose Turd didn't happen. I did take a jar of prunes along. Everybody chickened out. If you have face book look up Elmo Scruggs

Wow, what a beautiful job you did on her. Congratulations on another beautiful HC,

Here is my Good House Keeper with motor removed and HC installed. As you can see the Japanese copied the Singer very well.

Thanks Mizkaki. I'll pass along the information and do a search on eBay. There may be a needle or two in one of the drawers. I guess finding a leather needle is out of the question. A regular one will probably work. I knew someone would be able to answer the needle question. You all are the greatest.

Grant, you gottum PM.

Grant, I sent you a PM.

sheesh - I really DON'T know what I need for needles...
|
I don't even know what all I have in there but I know that I have more of those two sizes than I will ever need. The 24 X 1 needles are the replacement needles for the Sewhandy machines. You have to put it in 180 degrees off, but they are supposed to work. I know this because I had one without the needle in it and couldn't find them. Is the Boye # 8 known by another size? The needles I have are almost all Singer Needles.
