While looking for the front flap cabinet hinges, I found some nice attachments. Don't think they fit any of my machines. If you are interested in attachments, take a look at this.

I have been making ruffles on my Lotus tonight, and am just amazed at the mechanical wonder that the ruffler is. I feel blessed to have a back-clamping one that came with my machine. In about 30 minutes I had a whole pile of beautiful ruffles that would have taken me hours to make by my old method of pulling up a running stitch and adjusting gathers. Can't believe how much better the OLD technology is, so USE YOUR WEIRD ATTACHMENTS, everybody! They are fun!

Thanks, :D
If I knew the correct name of the hinge assembly, I might be able to find it. I picked up an old cabinet years ago with the idea that I was going to install a light and sheet of glass and make a light table. Now, instead, I'd like to put an old SM head into it, but need to replace the front flap which supports the machine when it is in the raised position. I know that people collect this type hardware from the most pitiful of cabinets. I have a friend who will cut and route the new part, but we need the invisible hinge assembly. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Been having so many storms have had computer unplugged and off but now I'm on again. Amazing how you get so used to being 'online' and almost have withdrawal without it.
Yesterday I had a fun day repairing and shortening jeans for my grandson. Did the zigzagging on my newer Brother and had to go for the Redeye 66 for the real work. It sewed through those quad seams like butter. Not even a hiccup. My grandsons fiance is wanting a machine and I told him to find her a vintage one that will outlast us all. So, I hope I have gotten another couple of youngens interested in the vintage machines. He wanted to see all my collection and even took pics so he could show ppl. I enjoyed talking about them and showing him how they worked.

I like to finish off my bindings with a decorative stitch. I have been using my daughter's Threadbanger T-30 which can handle this type of work so far, but I have been worried about the machine being able to continue to handle this load since the machine has plastic parts. So, I have been on a hunt for a machine to use in treadle that has cams for decorative stitching. I do hope that this machine will work out well for what I wish to use it for.
Sharon is that the one you use in a treadle?
