My father-in-law made friends with a couple who owned the small neighborhood store. The lost their ownly child, a son in WW2. We the retired and needed help he took care of them. They left him their belongings. He kept a few "momentos". A beautiful rocker and the sewing machine were his favorites. I admired both since the day I married his son 35 yrs. ago. He made sure that everyone knew I was to get them. I will treasure them always. I was told that Alice, the original owner was a great quilter. I just wish I could have seen one of her quilts.

What a wonderful treasure you have inherited. And how special that you know her history too.
Will you name her "Alice" after her original owner? |
Remakable story, how proud you must be. Beautiful cabinet and nice machine. What a treasure!

This is a great treasure!!! The attachment on the left front of the box looks like the attachment that was my grandmothers. She still had the instructions for using it and I have found that it works on my Elna, Paff, and White low shank machines. I have made some "perfect pleats" with it. Several months ago (and it was a re-run at the time) Simply Quilts featured a lady who had an extensive collection of these old machines. She did a demo with several of them and spoke about how she had gotten them cleaned up and useable. While visiting my daughter in Alaska, I learned that there are areas where there is no electric power and the women in these areas are using these old machines to quilt.

nana2.....hold on to that machine, when the electricity goes out, at least you can still sew in daylight. That is wonderful. I love old things, they have so much memory. :)
