Hey...only a year?? I'm such a newbie, I thought you'd been here years! Congrats on the one year mark and may I add my thanks to you for your expertise on vintage machines...now I not only own a Featherweight, but also a treadle (just acquired so can't even give you any info on it..except it's a Singer), and old, old Black Kenmore in a box (box is ratty, but I think fixable), and my daughter has an old black New Home (I think) she was given and is giving it to me! Wish I had time to go through them all...perhaps in a month or so when it's too cold out to do anything outside. I wouldn't have needed all these old things if I hadn't picked up on everyone's acquisitions and your instructions on how to clean them up, your supply of parts, etc.
Thanks for allowing us to join in your hobby and for all your help! (Not giving my age away here, but I love the walk down memory lane with the cars, too!!) LOL!
