I don't think I could feel 10 years younger or I'd practically be back in diapers. Kidding! But 10 years ago I was wild and crazy. I couldn't go back to that even if I wanted to. Hindsight and all.
I am feeling great tho, and I do have a new pep in my step. Walked the whole mile and didn't break a sweat and didn't get winded. Now that was a first.
Now if I could just get my doctor to lift my restrictions so I can get back to my sewing room. No bending over tables, no cutting, no lifting. Still have to be more careful than I want to be. I see the doctor tomorrow and hope I get a good report card.
I can't wait to see pics of your next project. It sounds awesome! Just let me know when you will be doing one (with electric, lol) in orange. My ideal color, but I bet you know that by now. Broken record and all.

You know if you find a machine you like I can change colors for you.

Thanks, I was just wondering. When I posted my picture, someone said it looked like it was a singer clone since it was made in Japan.

Should I consider painting one or find one beyond repair and have it redone all together? You are the expert and I will heed your advise. OK, just tell me what to do! LOL
I am not real hip on the FWs' but I am looking at a 1939 San Fransisco Expo edition FW on eBay right now. I would like to have it of a Texas State Fair FW.

I would suspect that it uses a Davis long needle (Boye 10), but don't know for sure, and don't know if there's a modern equivalent.
Thanks so much!!!

I went to a garage sale today and was looking at material. When the woman asked me if I sewed, I told her I was a new quilter and fell into it. I then saw that she had 2 machines and asked how much she wanted. Before I knew it I had 3 boxes of material and craft items and 2 machines for (don't fall over)!!!
$1.00 :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :D :shock: :shock:

Is there any way you can give me some information of the above Singer Serial number K19764? It uses the bullet type bobbins which I had given away.
