I love looking at everyone's machines!! What a treasure you have and being your Mom's is the best!!!
Hope you have years of happy sewing with Tootsie!!

Tootsie is a real treasure! So wonderful for you to have something that was your mom's. It will be so wonderful for you to sew on her and remember your mom! Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow. I didn't know they made all those attachments for machines way back then.

Lovely machine...and story. You certainly have a lot of attachments there...and they look to be in great condition. May you have many happy stitching hours together!

Lovely machine, and lovely memories..

Toots is a beauty! Lots of extras too!

Very nice "Tootsie".

She's beautiful and such memories you'll have sewing on her.

What a beauty.

How wonderful! :)

Isn't it curious what ends up in the drawers of sewing machines? A set of four nutpicks... funny. :)

I would love to try that Tack Master - how cool!

If all the pieces are present, you're going to love playing with that hemstitcher - it does the most beautiful detailing on linen! You draw a few threads out of the area that you want to hemstitch and run that line of drawn threads through the hemstitcher, first on one side of the line, then on the other. The stitching holds the fabric firm so that the "holes" stay open - it's very pretty!

A little tricky on that jackrabbit model 15, but even as uncoordinated as I am, I did it, so I'm sure you'll do it, too. I used it on curtains, but it's an heirloom detail on all kinds of linens, blouses, baby clothes, etc. If it turns out that you like the effect, you can slow your machine down with a $20 router controller from Harbor Freight - makes it easier to keep the fabric lined up so that the puncher is going into the same hole on the second pass as it did on the first.

How exciting to have all the vintage attachments to play with! :)
