These should get you going.

Thank you - I get inquires all the time about machines that will sew leather. The vintage machines will ALL sew leather - it is a matter of how long they will continue to sew leather.

Well, I finally had a chance to clean up, although, this machine was clean as a whistle already, my Pfaff 360 from 1965! I purchased this machine a couple weeks ago off of Craigslist, but had not played with it at all. I needed a machine to take to a sewing social last night to do some FM work. I took the 360 on Candace's recommendation!
I loved using this machine to FM the table runner it is sitting on! It did an awesome job! I also got the case, no attachments with this baby! The bed extension drops down to make the machine a free arm.

He is talking in complete sentences now, he knows his numbers, colors, alphabet, etc and can sing in a very high falsetto just about anything he hears once - he's eating and using the potty with some success. Baby Walter is just trying to keep up...

That is great news! I love the new avator! What is your little redheaded GD's name?

Nancy

Ok Miriam, stop playing with the Avator! First you take off the photo of you and your DH, put the little redhead on there, then change to both the redheads - now nothing? Come on Miriam, I can't keep up! Now a bobbin assembly? You remind me of my 4 year old GS, who is always changing the people on our Wii game! Hehehehehehe! Well, you did give me a smile this morning - I needed that!
