Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
I know Miriam, but many people have made the mistake of trusting him... trouble is, a machine like this one is damaged beyond repair before they learn not to. She didn't know that he didn't tell EVERYTHING when he made his tutorials...
Linda, it works best if you cut off 18" of the first strip. Otherwise you end up with each strip starting on one side of the quilt and ending on the other side, next strip doing the same, etc. so you end up with just strips basically sewn together. Taking off the 18" makes it so the the strips "wrap" to the next row. Am I making this clear? :-)

Sad but true. If you google search cleaning up a vintage sewing machine that tutorial still comes up - not as close to the top but it does come up. If that is all the information you get you could do some serious damage.

Charlee I do hope they remove his tutorials they are doing more harm than good. I am glad you caught this one.

that graybar case,,,, my apartment eletric case looks just like that, less the name.
Thats a interesting name ,,,, graybar that I know of is the largest industrail elec supply in the USA,, from the line of stock and tools they carry, I have to wonder if they may have sold sewing machines at one time .
The graybar on the case is the same as the graybar logo for that company today..

Such a shame. I saw the photos of the that machine yesterday, and this morning the entire thread had gone. The link in Charlee's post 35682 above no longer takes you anywhere, and the thread doesn't appear in the list of threads in this section. Billy's tutorials are still there though.

It is so interesting to try and figure out 'who' manufactured a particular machine when you get one of those that changed companies a few times!

I don't know where Monica has been, but she 'had' a Graybar. I think she gave it away, but not sure?
