    oh, what a great find!!

    And I love the idea of a tutorial!
    Love the idea of a Tutorial as much as I love this machine! And the price is unheard of around here. :shock: Cannot wait to see this redone. I know you will make it look stunning. I am happy that you found such a great deal!

    That is one sad looking machine right now. Great find! Looking forward to reading the tutorial on restoring this one.

    Yeah I am really looking forward to working on this one. But it will have to wait for a while before I get around to it. I have a lot of customers machines I need to take care of first though. But I will have it finished before Christmas ;)

    Billy, that is an amazing price, but then you have the capabilities to make her look as if she is dressed to the nines, wheras most of us couldn't tackly that kind of restoration.

    I looke forward to the tut too - I don't think my new one stitches - at least, I have tried turning the wheel by hand, and it made a stitch about every quarter of an inch. I suppose it is a timing issue.
