Hey, curious about something. I've seen plenty of pictures of those old machines with a piece of cloth wrapped around them, like your icon. My friend's machine has that too, with pins in it. Is it some sort of homemade pincushion?
A lot of dress makers would put a cloth around the machine's arm to hold pins. Under there you will see a lot of 'pin rash'. It is a bit ugly so put a new cloth on the machine. That machine is one Miss L (in the pic) and I refurbished. She refurbished the bobbin tension and that tension you see - took it apart and I helped her put it back together. It is a wonderful machine now. There might be an after pic somewhere on QB. The finish on it was terrible so I used Glenn's method and got it looking a lot better.
