And here I am dying to get my treadle cabinet in shape so I can put my 66 head in it. This head is very basic but oh, she does a wicked good stitch and I can't wait to get her installed. There is a 127 Phoenix in the cabinet now, but she only has one bobbin, the long skinny vibrating shuttle type, and I like the round better that the 66 has. Ny Featherweight had been horribly abused too and then shut up in an attic for many years. She was so dirty and grimy and had old tape goo imbedded in her surface. She leaned up good but has paint chip aread on her edges but she also has a stitch that today's machines can't do any better. I use her a lot for small piecing. I honor their long service and think that their owies are badges of endurance.
