After my father died and my mom moved I found that she had "downsized" and got rid of some items I loved and carefully kept some from my childhood for me that I didn't have any emotional connection to at all. I had only myself to blame, because she'd asked me if there was anything I wanted. I was too busy with little ones at the time to even think what there might have been until it was too late. She gave her old Kenmore in a great little parlor cabinet to my SIL, who later divorced my brother but kept that machine (although she does not sew!). Ouch!
Congrats on rescuing this nifty old machine.

Happy Birthday. You are so lucky to have found that beauty. Can't wait to see her all shined up. I went to the site that was posted on the history of your machine, but the website was unable to display it.

WOW now where in the world did that come from?? Just love the name, never heard of it before. Could not get into the web site, played around with it and no go. Bet its got a story to tell...
My find at the Godwill Pound store this Friday was about 15 lbs of material, all kinds, fat quarters, larger 2 or 3 yd pieces, some scraps, lot of Batiks. Someone must have died or closed a quilt shop. When I get thru sorting them will take a photo and upload it for you to lick your lips over. Had my friend and her teen age granddaughter digging in these bins for me. Cost approx 20.00 for all of it. Everything is sold by the pound by the way.
