You know, I refuse to make certain quilt patterns because they either are or resemble a swastika...but I'd LOVE to have that machine!!

Well, if you want Charlee you can give them an offer and I could ship it to you. Though the table probably wouldn't be worth the shipping $....though since my last name sounds Jewish, do you think they'll let me in the door? :>

Charlee, my DH just went to pick the Sew Handy up for me! It is complete, according to its owner, except for a manual!

Loved my Honda Accords, we had two of them.

Vintage Motif, I worked for a pediatrician years ago. He said that for a rule of thumb, if you see what a child's height was at age two, you double that and it should be what their height is as an adult. I am curious what your daughter's height was at age two to see if it comes true for you. Of course, it's not scientific, but he said that it is usually the case.

Ok here she is! Charlee, this must just be a chain stitcher? No bobbin? Can you send me a copy of the threading diagram? What size needle does it take? I didn't get a manual as you know!

Isn't it cute!!!!

Yep..chainstitcher, and unless you didn't show the C-clamp, that's missing, but no biggie..any C-clamp will work, I pad mine tho. I'm going to make the PDF of the manual now! Should have it before morning!

ETA: The needles are a 24x1...another one of those that aren't common...
