Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
[quote=deplaylady][quote=vintagemotif]
Monica, I did not realize you have the same two, Two Spools! The Eldredge Two Spools and the National Two Spools. My Eldredge is pictured on page 9 of the photo shop. I need to do what you did and re-post the Eldredge along with the National so people can see the two together!

Sounds like a logical way to make a sewing machine.

Scroll down to my photos of my Two Spools machine on this page: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-2.htm
I wish they still made some machines this way. It would save time. I should update this photo. The thread is a mess in this photo, sorry.
Thread mess or not - that is the coolest thing I've ever seen! I always wondered what a Two Spools was! That would save tons of time!

Problem is they aren't taking into account that the items aren't tested and sometimes are missing bobbin cases and bits. He also said they aren't relisting as much as they used to, maybe I need to head out to the stores to see if they put the machines back on the floors and with what prices. You never know - there's always 1/2 price day!

In my zeal to oil my recently acquired 301A, I put sewing machine oil in the motor tube, and then learned I should have used lubricant. I got some lubricant and tried to put that in, but it did not seem as though there was room to put any in. What should I do?

The cabinet no longer wobbles. It was a pleasure to meet you this weekend at the Tn TOGA. I will be prepared for next year. Glenn

I swear I'm never doing it again, though!
