and a couple more New Homes find a new home!
I replaced the NH that got pretty broken up in shipping, and probably paid too much, but it DID come with a pkg of 10 of the correct needles, as well as a couple extra bobbins and a manual, and a pretty nice case. Took just a bit of twiddling to get it stitching properly.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]475127[/ATTACH] and last but not least the New Home version of the Wilcox & Gibbs chainstitch, haven't decided whether to motorize with a vintage motor, or make up a hand crank that would drive a belt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]475128[/ATTACH] In the background you can see the New Home Midget. I'm looking forward to playing with the chain stitcher. I think I have pretty well filled in a collection of New Homes. My newest is an XL-II which is my only modern free arm machine. The free arm has already proven itself handy.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]475129[/ATTACH]Now if I could just find another shuttle for one of the Midget/Little Workers! Rarer than hen's teeth. I can and will make some bobbins for it.
and then there's this [ATTACH=CONFIG]475130[/ATTACH]one, and [ATTACH=CONFIG]475131[/ATTACH] the one that started the whole New Home thing.
