Hi Vintage folks. I still haven't figured out how to get my new topic posts to show up in the virtual section. Somebody PM me how...
Question: I see a lot of pics with old machines in a needle down position, with a swatch of fabric (needle resting in the fabric). Is there some reason for this? Should old machines, treadles, HCs and early electricfieds be stored this way when not in use (then lowered into their cabinets, etc.).
I just happened to notice this in a lot of pictures.. .
Thanks for clearing up the mystery for a newbie...
