I am glad to announce that the Tutorials that everyone has been wanting are coming to life as we speak!!!! They will be in several installments because of all the information I am having to cover and I hope I can put it all into words with the help of plenty of photos.

I am figuring that we need to cover the basics and then some...... Electrical (to me the MOST important one), Disassembly, Cleaning, Assembly, Cabinet refinishing, and Upkeep and Maintenance.

The first installment will be the Disassembly of the machine.

I just hope these will be helpful for anyone wanting to work on their own machines and maybe we can start saving more of them and using them for our quilting projects.

I did clean the faceplates today with WD-40. I couldn't wait, I had to see the beautiful design shining through! Then I plugged her in - she works but needs to be cleaned and adjusted. I wanted to take her apart and clean before using! Please make sure you include me in your tutorials! I am looking forward to learning about this machine myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (Oh, she has a name "Jeannie" after my mom!) Did I say thank you?
