Guess what!!! After 4 months of screeching that I wanted the garage cleaned out an organized, this weekend we were able to do it.
I now have mom's Featherweight in the house. All she needs is cleaning and oiling and a replacement bobbin case...but she is all mine and in the house where I can look at her, and polish her and spend some time with her.
WOOOHOOO!
Now...to find a bobbin case!
