All I can really add is that my mouth is still hanging open in awe! (just ask Monica ROFL). I soooo enjoyed using a New White Peerless handcrank to make Monica's sewing machine cover project for us. I was cranking like a mad woman because I was determine to finish my machine cover with nothing but people power. There was no way I was going to finish it at home lol.
Now I am ready to help Janice find a mission style treadle so my 1891 Singer Vibrating Shuttle No. 2 can be reunited with her cabinet (Janice has it). I even rearranged my sewing room last night in anticipation of having a place for her.
