Well Candace and Cathy, I think I did nail it yet again! I have been using the 319w for the last couple days to get some things finished and so far it does not skip stitches at all! I have out of state company coming on Saturday. She is going to stay for 9 days so I HAVE to get my sewing/guest room cleaned up!

Charlee, that Redeye looks really nice. My one regret with all my machines is that I don't have any of my 66's in a cabinet in the house so I can sew with one! I have never actually sewn on a 66 except to make sure they work! My redeye's cabinet is in line for restoration out in my little sewing machine museum!

Dan, that machine looks really nice! I love the front of those White Rotary machines! They are kind of wicked looking like a Wheeler and Wilson head. That machine does not look like it belongs in a case with a foot pedal - not with the spoked hand wheel!

Elaine and I had a very good trip to Indy and the visit with Miriam was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed it. I could have spent all day in her shop / and storage house and not seen all that was there. I "think" we might have been able to squeeze another portable machine into the Pathfinder, and maybe the rocking chair. The Pathfinder just isn't big enough.
I told Elaine that the next trip we take her pick up. Much more room under the camper .

Pictures coming later today.

Purplefiend, I sent you a PM about a White Rotary. Jan

Quiet day! Not that I contributed anything. I did pin a quilt. I hate basting, of all kinds, all methods, and all types. I think I've tried every possible way. While i was looking for ways to procrastinate, i notice I have 4 machines that have been cleaned and oiled, but not sewn out to see if they really are done. So, maybe I'll do that tomorrow. I'm afraid i won't have enough machines to work on for my Ray White class. Perhaps I will have to "borrow" from Miz Kaki.... Laura

Hey, if you move to Indy, be sure to look for a house with a basement. I grew up there and EVERY house I lived in had a basement and we never had water in them...they do exist and after all, you gotta have someplace to store all the junk you collect if you are a real junker. I had to sell all my junk when I moved to FL where supposedly there are no basements (high water table) and 2 out of the 3 houses I have owned have had basements and NO water ever in them. You have to find a house that was built by a builder that knows how to do a good basement. Now, I'm working on replenishing my junk supply.
