Glad to be back again after a work/illness related absence of over a month.
Worked on Viking 6000 series this morning and got it running for my girlfriend - that was good. What was not good is she wants me to give her granddaughters sewing lessons when she herself sews. Ain't gonna happen.
She's also like me to give them one from my herd so they have a portable in their house - that may happen because my younger daughter has a 237 that she uses but hates so mostly she uses my 301. DD just has to find the manual for her machine. This will happen so I can move one out which only leaves way to many to figure out what to do with them.
The Singer 457 has plastic or nylon gears/thingies inside because I have one sitting in my house that was gifted to me because of the broken piece. Don't know if this is a parts machine or not yet. Have to have breathing room from work related stuff before I get a chance to play with the machines.
