Little Green Machine
 

If all goes well, I'll be adding a GE Sewhandy mini-green machine to my collection! A member of my quilt guild has it and is asking $40.00 for it. She's supposed to bring it to the meeting today. :):):)

Yay! Finally figured out how to resize and get a pic posted! Here is the machine.

It s a cutie.......I love my sew handy

I have one of those too. Cute. I couldn't get it to stitch til I realized the wheel goes away not towards. Have fun with it!

congrats... glad to see it... my dad worked for GE all his life

Nice find. You have to let us know how it works. If I understand it correctly, Singer bought up the rights to this machine and made the Featherweight. It comes with a nice story too ;- )

I got it! It's home now. Several of the ladies at the guild tried to buy it out from under me! :hunf: Ultimately, it did come home with me. :p

Yay for you! I wondered how you could get it for $40, that is a steal! You probably already have seen it, but here is an interesting article about different versions of the SewHandy.

What a beauty! Treat her with some TLC. This is the first one I've seen, lucky girl.

Such a cute little machine. I don't know much about the vintage machines but I love to look at them.

It's a cute machine and looks like fun - enjoy!

Congrats on your new little machine! :)

And........SHE SEWS! I rewired the controller and power cord by myself (First time to do so, I might add), and she sews wonderfully! ❤️

Good for you!! Cute machine!!

Was it hard to do the rewiring?

Surprisingly, no! I took pictures during every step as reference so I'd know how it should go back together. My biggest challenge was finding an older cord that would work. I was able to use an older motor/light block cord that I had. I'm becoming more confident in my machine refurbishing. I could see servicing other people's machines now.
