You can't goof it up, and we're happy you joined us!

Derla, when you click to reply and add a post to this thread, click on "Go Advanced" and scroll down a bit. You'll see a button for "Manage Attachments" Click that and you should be able to upload photos.

Also, did you notice that each posting is numbered? Just go back on the pictures, etc that you want to tell others about and tell them the number of the posting. That way the number of postings each has on a page doesn't matter as much.

Great obsservation!! I feel like we've lost a lot of people on this thread...besides Mz Johnny I cant put my finger on names, but we feel "thin"???

Yes, I like that too. Much easier than the "virtual section" before.

Hahaha!!! A typical problem for this crowd!!

I did not notice that the post were numbered. This great to know and use to find threads now if I can get comfortable with the site it should be easier for me.

But I could not get to them because of everyone else's stuff. Here is the first one to come out of hiding. It is a Kenmore De Luxe Rotary Sewing Machine born in 1935. I belive that the cabinet is her original one also. She is very dirty and dusty which means another dirty girl cleaning. I can't tell yet but she appears to be a very dark green (no not mold), instead of black. I have the manual, box of attachments and three bobbins.

I tried to post photos but I think that I have to figure out how to reduce the size of my photos in order to post them. When I figure that out I will be posting them.

AAAARRRGGG! Still can't post pictures. I will stay with this, good thing I am persistant!!! I hate frustrations.

Read Charlee's explanation a few posts up on how to post pics. It's not that hard....just a different way than we used to have.
