Annie, my Westie was a stray, I didn't realize what breed she was until she gained some weight and her fur started growing in thicker. She weighed about 10 lbs and was very skinny, course she had lots of fleas. She thinks she's the alpha dog...
the bigger dogs tell her otherwise.
Thanks for answering my question. :lol:

Janice,
I'm so glad that you got an easier solution. One of my treadles is what we call a "franken-treadle" it has the top from a Singer coffin top type treadle and the irons are Elgin made by Free, it works very well. The irons are so smooth and easy to treadle, has ball bearings in it.

Thanks for rescuing her. I don't know how long you have had her, but she will be your best bud. She will remember that you came to her rescue.

Annie has been here since 2007, she is a sweetie and loves to cuddle. She earns her kibble by helping the other 3 dogs keep our acre free of rabbits and voles, she even likes the occasional grasshopper.

Im hoping someone can give me some information about this Kenmore. I looked on the internet and I got years from the 30's to the 50's. The seriel # is 270003, and the model # is 117-552. An old neighbor gave this to me. Any information would be appriciated. Also I have no attachments or the book for it, only the foot that is on it. Any ideas where I can get them?

She is so adorable!!!

All I know is that your Kenmore was made by White.

Kenmore Rotary 117.552 made in 1954

As for the accessories and manual you will have to hit thrift stores, yard sales and ebay to find them.

Well, my sister just left town. While she was here we found a Bernina 530-2 in a mostly all there cabinet. I have never seen a Bernina in my life. It appears in good cosmetic shape and it turns. It has a whole bunch of weird feet. The stitch dial doesn't do much and the built in knee control doesn't move very far. I have yet to clean it up. I've had to catch up on regular work and hope to get something done on the machine over the week end. There is a manual - pretty small print... I'm thinking enlarge on the copy machine... The power does not go on when it is plugged in - no power at all. Is there some way to clean the contacts? Any info would help.

Thank you
