Sunflowerzz, based on the Vogue and also another Singer of which you posted photos, I say, you have a real gift for cleaning machines! Very beautiful and detailed cleaning.

Give the blue Morse a bit of a chance. My avatar machine is nearly the same, though mine is more of a Singer clone, with the stitch length lever being in a round plate. It was my first machine, paid about a dollar a pound for him, an he hums like a stiching Gentle Giant. So soothing! Maybe yours is not in mechanically as pristne shape, maybe it is a different company... but I can say, my Great Blue is just aaaamaazzzzing. I could sew mindless lines of nothing just to hear the quiet hummy motor and watch the stitches form, one after perfect another. I think perhaps sometimes, after decades of not being used, the machines need a little bit more running than just cleaning-and-oiling, in order to get their joints moving nicely again... :-)

Okay I will, I have several aprons I have to make for Christmas gifts and I want to make some sewing machine covers so I will sew with all of them to see what happens. Right now I am working on a Necchi BU MIRA and she really has my interest..LOL

You would be so proud of me I actually have passed up about a dozen machines over the past few weeks. I am getting very picky. LOL But I am leaving early in the morning to pick up another Necchi about an hour and half from home.

Well! It is a Necchi!:p
