Thanks, I will have to give that some thought. The wood base is pitiful; the fabric was torn but still holding it together. This will put all my skills to the test. I feel so sorry for it.

Each one of my Janome's has it's own cover made from pre-quilted calico (muslin) which I embroidered with some grub roses and a monogram (both freebie designs).
The Brother shortarm quilter has a small quilt as a fitted cover would have been too time consuming to fit around the Handi Handles etc on the frame.
While I'm at it, here's a photo of the old spools of Sylko thread I was given via Freecycle recently, then I bought a shadow box frame to keep them dust free. These sit on a long hall table with two primitive style rag dolls and the Beale HC.

I've been cleaning up a Bernina Record 530. It does not get power from the cord so I need to replace that. The stitch selector lever was stuck so I oiled and oiled and oiled - a little every day - nothing. It would not budge. Well I set it out in the sun today and guess what - it is freed up. There is still a stuck knob and the feed dogs are stuck in the raised position. Anybody got any ideas how to unstick a plastic knob? I sure don't want to break it. It is the stitch width selector. One of these days that machine WILL work.
I found a road side freebee last night. It is an 1960/70 Kenmore. It does straight or zigzag. It was very much an ashtray. I got it cleaned up. Need to haul it in the house and plug it in to see if it works. I got it freed up. Seems like a fairly nice metal machine. I'm not sure how to tell what model it is. It was missing the pressure feet and the bobbin case. I had that in my pack rat stash.
