Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Found: Adorable Mission Style cabinet with a "The Free" SM :) Not sure what year it was made but most likely dates around 1910 - 1912. I really like the cabinet style and would love to modify it to fit my singer 206. Any suggestions on how to go about making this swap-out work?

I even suggested to my DH that we might be able to hang SM's from the ceiling. Needless to say he didn't see the humor. lol. So my solution is to swap sewing machine heads in and out of the cabinets. It's a win-win. I don't have to respond to the question "so what are you going to do with that SM?" and I can use any of them that I want within minutes.

The Sun is shining and I am not motivated to work.... going to share this with my DH (wonderful man that may not see the attaction to SM's but never questions my sanity - lol)
Sewing Machine Hoarders Beware !
A recent study has indicated that Sewing machines give off certain Pheromones, that
actually hypnotize people and cause them to purchase ungodly number of Sewing Machines.
When stored in large quantities, the Sewing Machine Pheromones cause memory loss (CRS) and induce the nesting syndrome (similar to squirrel behavior before the onset of winter, i.e. storing food). It's also been noted the same Pheromones cause a pathological need to secret these sewing machine purchases away when taken home (or at least blend them into the existing collection) and when asked by a significant other if the sewing machine is new, the reply is "Oh that, I've had it for a while".
Sound tests have also revealed that Sewing Machines emit a very high-pitched sound, heard only by a select few people .When played backwards on an LP, the sounds are heard as chants "Buy me" ”Clean me” "Sew on me"!
Studies have also indicated that aliens have inhabited the earth, helping to spread
the effect that sewing machines have on the human population. They are called VSMS posters.
