Default New to QB - New Featherweight Owner

Hello Everyone!

I just purchased a 1938 Singer Featherweight and plan on cleaning her up and using her as my primary machine. I signed up on the Featherweight Yahoo Group and Cecilia recommended that I also come over here to say hello.

I just got my baby and have not cleaned her up yet. She needs a serious spa treatment but I think she will be fabulous when finished.

I took a ton of photos of her, with lots of closeups of problems to fix and filthy areas to clean. I also took close ups of her very rough case, and her "mish-mash" of random accessories. So as not to bombard the board with a bunch of photos, I started a flickr page for those who are interested in seeing my dirty girl. Here is the link for those interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126621717@N06/

I would be interested in any comments, observations, or advice on cleaning and restoring my new baby. I want to take my time and get her set up the right way, but I also can't wait to sew all kinds of fabulous things with her.

Thank you in advance and I look forward sharing and learning with all of you!
