Susan, I would like to invite you to come visit at the Vintage Sewing Machine Shop. Lostn51 is Billy, the shop owner on this board. There are over 1200 pages. We post photos of our sewing machine finds or purchases, share about all sorts of things and have a lot of fun. You can post your questions/photos and then, as you have time, pour through the pages from page one. Everyone is welcome and there aren't any 'dumb' questions, so ask away. Be careful though... vintage machines can become addictive. The greatest thing though is that you get to see and learn so much history about the world of sewing machines. See you when you get there. :-D
