I am waiting to get on Needle Bar but it takes so long. Only thing we can see that is missing is the shuttle. Every thing else works and seems to be in order. Would like to change it over to a hand crank if possible.

Is it bad that I'm scared to even go looking for a "new" machine? I'm afraid if I end up at the thrift store, antique store, or Craigslist one will follow me home. I don't have any more room for sad orphan sewing machines! LOL

She has been cleaned, but she still needs her coat of Liquid Gold. |
JoAnn, wow, such a beautiful machine. I have never seen one like that. IT will be interesting to find out more about it. Thanks for posting photos. We all need to be encouraged to buy vintage machines, don't we???? :D :D

I just won an auction on shopgoodwill.com a Husqvarna Viking Automatic Type 21 machine in its original case. I am very excited but wish I could find someone who is familiar with these. |
