    Sounds like a logical way to make a sewing machine.

    http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-2.htm

    Scroll down to my photos of my Two Spools machine on this page: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-2.htm

    I wish they still made some machines this way. It would save time. I should update this photo. The thread is a mess in this photo, sorry.

    Thread mess or not - that is the coolest thing I've ever seen! I always wondered what a Two Spools was! That would save tons of time!
    Monica, I did not realize you have the same two, Two Spools! The Eldredge Two Spools and the National Two Spools. My Eldredge is pictured on page 9 of the photo shop. I need to do what you did and re-post the Eldredge along with the National so people can see the two together!

    Nancy, I can identify with this! My mom was a home ec. and science teacher while Dad was away in the war. When he came home, she quit teaching to be home with the family. So I learned to sew at 9 (officially - did little tasks for Mom before that). My jr. high home ec. teacher did not believe my proficiency level. So she insisted I get my mom there for a conference! I refused to take home ec. in high school.

Problem is they aren't taking into account that the items aren't tested and sometimes are missing bobbin cases and bits. He also said they aren't relisting as much as they used to, maybe I need to head out to the stores to see if they put the machines back on the floors and with what prices. You never know - there's always 1/2 price day!
    I'll have to call our Goodwill. I've never seen a sign for half price day.

    Thank heavens, I never had to take home ec.

    In my zeal to oil my recently acquired 301A, I put sewing machine oil in the motor tube, and then learned I should have used lubricant. I got some lubricant and tried to put that in, but it did not seem as though there was room to put any in. What should I do?

    Other than saving money and stockpiling Ibuprophen, I don't think there's any way to be prepared for the TOGA! It was great to meet you as well!

    That was from mostly small--25 cents to a couple of dollars--items. I sold one sewing rocker and a couple of 10$ items, the rest was small stuff.
    I swear I'm never doing it again, though!
