things I bought yesterday
 

I got Betsy Ross, but she is outside waiting for a bath. Even if she never works she is still cute. [ATTACH=CONFIG]515689[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]515690[/ATTACH]
the manual I also got yesterday from a different place.

Cool finds! Betsy looks like a good contender for "Most Grimy". Please post some before and after pictures of her.

Great manuals! I'm starting to develop a fondness for the vintage books and patterns I see along with the machines and attachments. Maybe it's the artwork.

I kinda like that little Betsy. Cool color!

Rodney I am with you. I don't know why I like them I just do. A few wks ago I bought a large stack of quilting magazines dating to the mid 70s'. I just wanted to look at them. Patterns in everyone, stories, and pictures.

It is so neat looking at the old patterns and quilting books. Love to see the clothes,hair styles, furniture, etc. I bought a clothing pattern thurs with original price 25 cents!!!!!

I buy the old quilting magazines too-mainly for the patterns and ideas. Most of the patterns are geared toward templates and scissors but they also show applique and quilting patterns and those are useful too.

WOW, she is very cute and will be a challenge for you to get her up and running.

cute little machine

Cute machine! Please do show pics of her cleaned up. Congrats!
