What do you think about when you are working
 

on an old machine?

I envision the previous owners of the machine looking down upon me cleaning their old sewing machine with love and care and smiling. I hope they know it is appreciated and that I will do my best to make it shine and run well.

Ohhh, i thought it was about when I'm at work. I'm thinking about old sewing machines, house fixups, anything but my job...been there toooooo long.

ha ha ha - I think all kinds of things - usually not that - there are some real knot heads out there that have given up on their grandma's machine. Occasionally I wonder about the grandma...

Ha, Joe!

Christy, I think of the original owners of these machines, and how proud they had to have been of their beautiful modern machine. And how glad I am to now have it, since their family didn't want it, but I sure did. Lots of nostalgia for me.

Joe,
2. Where is the magnet so I don't have to get down on my knees...

The last machine I worked on I was so happy thinking about what a great job I did and how smooth everything went. I put back on the last part which was the bottom cover plate on one of my Singer Slant O Matics and HORRORS!!! there were two little screws just laying there looking up at me, mocking me! SO for me I think about keeping focused and counting parts and putting them in groups in little plastic lids etc. :p

:D Joe's answer.. I have a screw from some machine... I think it was a spare in the first place.

Also: I shouldn't take this part off yet, I should wait .... screws everywhere... I should go to bed... where did that go? This way? *&^%!!

something like that...

ha ha - I TRY to stay focused but if you have ever been around me...
