But it is sad that the woman had to give away all her stuff.
I didn't know all the details but her whole house was left behind. The saddest part was the little kids room with their little toys. I was noticing that about the machine cabinet. It looks like someone made new anchor spots. One is loose. I hope I can figure out how to fix that spot.
When I first brought it home I couldn't find the bobbin. After I looked closer I saw that the cabinet opens in front, Yes, Im new to this
and there it was!! I found the bobbin. I might have some questions about this as I go. Hopefully you all won't get tired of me asking them. The beige little wheels that the belt runs on, it is dry and cracked. Can I get those pretty easily?
Miriam, I added it to that thread
thanks!

Prayers from the gulf for the woman's dire situation. To just say take anything almost like she has nothing else to live for. I am happy for you to receive such a beauty though. I do hope she was able to receive some monetary donations.

Poor Lady and lucky you. I would sand the cabinet and paint it a blue to match the machine, easier than stripping and refinishing, and if wood is not good quality, would look better too. You can get so many neat paint colors today. Glad for the machine too and a question is NEVER dumb, cause while we may not have thought of the question and you did, you need an answer and someone on here will have it. A really great educational bunch.
