How very loving of your MIL to leave you this lovely machine. She must have thought a lot of you.

An older one, btw, the cabinet is more common to the Wheeler & Wilson machines...

I believe it is a Wheeler and Wilson machine but that is about all I have found out.

Sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. She really left you a beautiful gift. I'll bet she knew how much you would love and care for Clara Marie.
May you have many happy hours sewing with her!

She made all her quilts on this machine and then hand quilted them. I already have her quilt rails. My DSIL will get her mother's Featherweight. Well let me show you my machine. Our local Machine repair man is in AWWWW! So here is my Singer and her Beautiful table. I have named her Clara Marie after Granny and the middle name is also my DD's. I do not know what model this is but she works perfect.
Thank you all for looking. I am so happy with my gift. I hope to be able to make a quilt on her too.
