    WOW WOW WOW - look at the height of that throat area...

    looks like you could get a king size quilt in there.

    What's the height? What's the distance from the needle to the right?

    When you said you got a Minnesota machine I thought you were going to say you got a Viking! I have never heard of the Minnesota.

    I know, they're really pretty and seems to be in decent condition.

    I never have either, but I don't know anything about vintage machines in the first place! :lol:

    It looks like a treadle machine to me. Sweet looking. Bullet type bobbin. Can't tell if the bobbin case is there or not. Great decals. Go to the virtual area and Billy has put up a tute on cleaning up these babies. I printed them out and am just waiting for a couple good days so I can do my 'oldies' but goodies.

    Beautiful machine. I would be tempted to add a hand crank to her.

    The harp height is 6" and the distance from the right of the needle to the right side of the machine is 7 1/2" at the bed line and 8 1/2" in the middle (the right side of the machine curves in toward the bed).

    Gosh, I didn't even think of a name for her yet. My hubby is oiling her now and trying to figure out how she works. :)
