Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Wow! I would have loved to go with you! Sounds wonderful! A 15-91 is going to be my next acquisition...after I get a house to hold 3 machines...well 4 including the modern Janome. I am hoping to find one either with a cabinet or be able to find a cabinet for one. I want to FMQ and the cabinet would be just what I need to reduce the drag. I'm learning more and more about cabinets now. That trapezoid sounds fun. She sounds like the type of lady to sit down and have some coffee with and get a history lesson!
I also enjoy meeting people like that and she really made my day, too. I talso cost me nothing to spend some time with someone who was wanting some company that day. Am working on trying to build up my treasures in Heaven by doing unexpected acts of kindness. Probably sounds silly but am convicted that if we all stepped outside of ourselves and spent time with others, the world would be better place but so would we as a person. ~ Chris
Hi everyone. I just got a new-to-me Kenmore 158.14101 sewing machine. DH says it needs a good cleaning and oiling. We just ordered a manual from eBay. The plastic part of the foot pedal has broken and the foot pedal is not usable like this. I did a Google search for model 6813 foot pedal and they are all sold out. Does anyone here have one they're willing to part with?
Great job!

Weedwoman, the neighbor lady says I got into sumac AND poison ivy last summer AND possibly Virginia creeper. We still have to get rid of it some how. Is this a good time of year to chop it down?

I've been saving a spot for a Raymond or New England style sewing machine. They were made in the 1850's and 60's and are a walking foot chainstitch. Job Davis it is claimed was influenced by the walking foot part for his Vertical Feed. Really neat story behind Raymond: http://www.sewalot.com/charles_raymond.htm

If you hold down your computer's control button and hit + a couple times the picture will get bigger and you can see those buttons! To get the screen smaller again hold down the control button and hit the minus as many times as you hit the plus. One very nice piece of work Weedwoman.

looks like Rural King has it! Thanks. We have a very long line of fence on both sides of the property. The phone company came in to do it and gave up. Phone line everywhere. Some of the trees looked like they were on fire with red vines a couple weeks ago.
