    Going to the pantry for the baking soda...that one I have on hand.

    Thank you so very much for the suggestions!

    That is a fantastic find. You should put it under Billys post. He would love to see it along with the other Vintage Machine lovers.

    Lucky girl! My grandmother had a machine like this. I have no idea what happened to it after she died--my grandad probably gave it away to somebody.

    I have a question about these vintage machines.....can they be used to do free motion quilting? Anybody know? The feed dogs don't drop but can be covered. Just wondering. I have a couple of old Singers...not a Featherweight, though, darn!!

    I was going to say the same thing with regard to the machine originally being her mom's..

    That makes it even more priceless!

    Way to go!
