Good evening my VSMS peeps! After reading through all 1173 [ages of this thread I thought I would officially come in and introduce myself. I have tinkered with sewing for the last 26yrs (since learning how in Jr Hi). But since January, I have been bitten HARD by the quilting bug. I have been sewing on my Pfaff 2048 and it is great. But I last week I was given one of my Grampa's old machines (used to fix them).
Meet "Old Ironsides"! She is a 1935 Singer 15-91 and she is in fabulous shape! The inner workings were pristine, just like Gramps left it. She needed lot's of oil but she is working great and I even made a simple baby blanket last night without any trouble. I am hoping to set her up for FMQ once I get my sewing area re-organized!
