Thanks so much. Those clones are something else. I have had several and let them go but I have a new to me one that am thinking about keeping but really must release others to new to them homes.

I had some quilted fabric and I just made a bag big enough for my foot controller & cord for my machines. Works good but doesn't attach to the arm of the machine.

On one machine I have, I use a knitted dishcloth under the foot controller to keep it from scratching up the bed. Pretty sure MIL wouldn't mind this use for her dishcloths. That quilted fabric bag is a good idea.

Karen, I make a little drawstring bag from flannel (or use a Crown Royal bag) and lay them on the bed of the machine before I close the case. :)

Good idea Charlee thanks

I use one of my two card catalogs to store the accessories for each machines in a labeled drawer that I can pull out and carry to where I am working. To pre-answer, our local library was selling obsolete equipment and sadly these were considered as such. I got the two card catalogs and two 3 by 6 foot heavy walnut tables to match. Twenty dollars for each piece. Great addition to my sewing room.

Sad that the modern library removes so much history. Great idea for reuse of the cabinets

This one is made out of vinyl and that rigid material holds the shape of the storage area, but you can make it out of whatever you have laying around. It is for the foot controller and power cords, but you can make it the size you need for what you want to put in it.

This is a great idea too. I do have a question about sewing velcro with the older SM, is it any easier than with the newer ones? Do you put your feet and other attachments in these (containers) also?

Hi Cathy, I think you are right so for my research shows it is a badged Jones. GH Lee was a dealer with a large store in Liverpool. I compared it to my Jones CS and it is basically the same machine only a little older.
