Large collection

Am I allowed to post this link to an article about a couple that collects vintage sewing machines? If not, admin can you please move as appropriate?

I wonder if these lovely people are part of our community already.

Yes, they must be related to some of our group!

I read about them a couple of years ago and embarrassingly still haven't visited their museum which isn't that far from home (2 hour drive). Next weekend, maybe :p I'll take pictures if they allow it and definitely chat to them if they're there.

Thanks for the link. I followed another link in the article to their museum, and saw 2 pocket sewing machines pictured! I was so taken with them that I emailed a friend the link to the museum and a copy of the picture of the pocket sewing machines.

Thank you for posting this article. I find it very interesting. I have never heard of a portable SM like the pocket one
I especially liked the orange colored hand crank.

I emailed them and got a quick reply. They now have their collection at their house and have invited me to come over this Sunday to see it all. Should be a hoot :p
