I just inherited my grandmother's 1921 Red Eye treadle sewing machine. Some of the decals are really worn, and the whole machine has a layer of "age" on it. How did those of you who have done this do it? The before and after pics are amazing!

I will follow this thread I also need this information.

Go to the Virtual machine section. There is a detailed tutorial by lostn51. Many have used it with excellent results.

Here's a link to part one, from there you can get to part 2 etc. Have fun!

I just got mine put back together Monday night. I followed the tutorial that lostn51 has posted. It is great. Believe me it was a lot of hard work but very rewarding. you can see some before and after pics of mine under "I did it". Good luck and have fun, I did!

I've got a 1922 Redeye to get all polished up once the weather gets cooler so I can work outside.

Thanks so much! I KNEW I could count on all of you to help!
