man vs sew and earthwalker, love the colors of your vintage machines. Way cool.
Welcome man vs sew! I am sure you know you aren't alone on this board when it comes to men.
Have you done a search for the Vintage Sewing Machine Shop on this board? Lots of photos, lots of finds, lots and lots of enablers to help you add to your collection. All around a great place to come in and have a cup of coffee or tea. Many from Australia there too. :-D
PS: just noticed you are from Melbourne. My partner, mosaicthinking, in the 2011 Doll Quilt Swap is also from Melbourne. I just met her via PM yesterday. :-D
