July 7, 2018 CO Get Together - Part 1
We had a well attended and busy meeting this month at our usual Perkins restaurant. It was the beginning to a warm and sunny day here in Denver.
Janey and John brought a sewing machine called a Miracle. It rode on a new luggage carrier from Harbor Freight, acquired for the purpose. Janey has been recently testing and making samples of some zig-zag cams that were purchased separately and work nicely with it. It was brought, in part, as an example showing the movement of the bobbin, back and forth when zig-zagging. We talked about the reason and need to do this with vertical end bobbins.

Dorothy was there and brought a picture of an electrified VS2 machine. We got the best picture we could from her tablet. It is in an "alligator skin" covered case. Dorothy also brought a motor and light set, wired together, needing to get the light and motor apart for service. The motor is not as obvious as some in how it comes apart. The consensus was that it is held together with circular rings. She also brought a book entitled The New Dressmaker, by Butterick.
