That's exactly what I did. Named her after his wife....Jeannie.
I am going to sit down with her this weekend and start some cleaning on her. She does sew but needs a GOOD cleaning. And she doesn't look as bad as the picture shows. Been doing a lot of reading about FW. Found out that she was made in 1954. I did not get a manual with her and if anyone knows where this can be found, please let me know.
Sheesh......I am so new to this FW stuff. I have my first machine that I bought in the late 60's and need to get that out and take a look at it. I think it is a Needlecraft.
Never really thought about "collecting" old machines but I may have found a new hobby to go along with my quilting one.
