There is absolutely nothing more satisfying than a well-oiled, restored, quiet, running, vintage sewing machine. I have many of them and just love them. If you are interested in a class, I have taken the tear down, rebuild class from Sew Purty (Ray Elkins), he is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend him. Totally worth it to tear down a machine and get it running again. So wonderful. Glad to have you here!
