I wanted to share some pictures from my most recent project. This Queen Sewing Machine was brought to me to be cleaned up and sewing again. I was able to do both. Steve H made the slideplates for it and I think they look great. One was missing so a new pair was in order. This machine was in bad shape when I got it but it was worth saving. It sews a nice tight stitch again too. It was a lot of work and the clear varnish had oxidized so I couldn't scrub the painted surfaces too hard to get them all shiny without destroying the decals on it. I used SMO on cotton rounds and lightly wiped it, and wiped off the excess to clean it, repeating until it was clean. A little painstaking but I didn't have any real loss of the decals and it is preserved.
