    Miriam;
    Loved the story about the selling of the machine. Would have loved to have seen it in person. Will not comment on loose and/or missing screws because I'm short several as well.

    Love the stories, keep em coming!

    If folks want to check it out, the first draft of The Victorian Sweatshop webpage is up. Since Needlebar came back up i put that project on hold to get this one up and running.

    Steve,

    That's a great web site you've got going. Are you going to turn the small pics into thumbnails so we can see bigger pics of the machines? I lost my magnifying glass .

    Also, other than the demonstrations, do you use these machines to actually make things?

    Yep, the pics will be links to a page for each machine.

    I do, but I am better at fixing the machines than I am at tailoring, so THAT side is staying hidden until it is not quite so embarrassing.

    Cool! Please post a photo of this machine if you do purchase it.
