Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
I have an old Necchi machine (1955) but new to me. It has two strips of masking tape on the bed. I think it was to mark inches as she was a seamstress and made tailored suits etc.
I have tried wd-40, Opps, and anything else I could think of to remove the strips. Does anyone here have any more suggestions? I don't want to damage the paint. I just want that tape off from the machine!!

I took my ROSIE (white featherweight) to group last night, after about 2.5 hours it started to smell like something burning. I turned it off and dh will look at it maybe tomorrow, any suggestions as to where he should start? I am just sick to think i might have hurt her!

With the meds you're taking I would sleep for days. Hope you will try the vicks on the bottoms of your feet and then put socks on, it seems to help all the aches and pains besides the coughing. Hope you try it.
Also thank you for starting this virtual forum, it is the best.

No photos yet and I have a quilt getaway so won't be home for a few days. (I'm hoping DH finds a good place for it in the house while I'm gone).
Will keep you posted!
