Charlee, I think to you rescue me today with the posting of that person's blog on vintage Singers:
http://oldsingersewingmachineblog.com/. Instead of a drive to go after that free White (which I have NO place for in my home), I'll read this amusing blog. These folks are into brewing their own nettle beer.
I can hear this dude's accent as I read his blog. I love it!! A very nicely done blog!!!
