The program I have on my computer for pictures doesn't do sizes. I had to go into paint and resize then save the pictures. What ever works I guess.

Did I tell you all that this Amerikan has a wood pitman? Trying to get the belt on it so maybe by tonight I can thread and attempt a sew on her...then a good cleaning! That's probably backward to most of you, but I just can't wait that long to see if I can get her to sew!!

Ok let's try another picture of the Vindex - missing the stitch regulator I think.

Charlee, the Two Spools is in Hagerman ID, and it was on eBay for $99. No one bought it.
Hagerman is just south of Boise.

On the way there on route 84 is Three Island Quilts in Glenns Ferry, just before Hagerman.
William and you can eat at the Snake River Grill, http://www.snakeriver-grill.com/ordereze/1000/Page.aspx , looks like a nice place to dine.
Go get that machine!

Charlee, I was thinking the same thing about your trip to ID and picking up that 2 spool. I would buy it if it was not so far away. Oh the dilemmas. I have never seen one in this area. I am sure it will stay on my wish list for a long time.
Enjoy your day out junking. You find the best stuff.
