I apologize for sounding dumb, but what will you be able to sew with it? What is the main use for that type of machine?

I LOVE antiques and it really does look like a gorgeous item, even just to display.

I have an adorable Model 24 too. She seems more like a Grace.

I read that these machine were mostly used by Milliners..perhaps MILLIE would be good! OR Hattie!
I love Millie! very cute, LOL

She can do what I am going to do with my FC Henderson (same type of machine) and make a quilt top on it. Its a chain stitch machine and will sew very well once you get it back in running order.

By the way I have to agree the decals are to die for!!!! You did excellent on the purchase.

heyjami,
That is a gorgeous machine! I wouldn't have a clue about what to do with a machine like this but I know where I could find help and would love to have one!! Congratulations.
