Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell

He showed it to me. Starts with AL - great shape, good case, has the insert, only minor scratches on the top of the machine. It has the attachments and the button holer. He asked what they were going for and then said he was going to ask the wife about listing that, too.
Okay - I got the 15. I have a question. It measures about 7" under the harp and is about 14 1/2" by 7" - about the size of my 99. But the tension is on the front and by the serial numbers, it says its a 15. I thought they were bigger. Its all right by me, I want to put a crank on it (and I have one here handy!) and it is sure heavy enough already. I just had a question about it.

Miriam, sorry to hear about your lack of crud on the Spartan. Had I known you could have come over and cleaned mine for me last week. It wasn't too bad though. It came in the black plastic base, no cover. I have it stitching almost perfectly.
I guess instead of cleaning you will just have to sew something on the Spartan.

Then just change the G to what ever series you are looking for (enter) it will pull it up. I tried the AA series and it worked. Let me know if it works for everyone. I hope it makes sense. :)

The only history I know is that the lady I bought it from also got it off of craigslist a year ago and had intended to use it in photographs, but never did so decided to sell it.

Isn't this a pretty color? May have to bid. Pretty machines, everyone. And yes to the baby quilts, although here is the south, fuzzy is definitely optional. I always like to make one for a new baby, and it is usually the only hand made thing at the shower any more.
I just got through making memory quilts out of one of my daughter's friend's grandpa's shirts. They turned out really well, even if they seem strange to some people. The ones I made out of my daddy's shirts after he passed keeps me, my two daughters, and my sister warm all the time, like we can still feel him. The friend saw my daughter's and managed to get a handful of shirts for me to work with. I mainly used sheets to blend it out.
