Trish, as you can see, that's one of the reasons I posted here, now that I've finished editing :wink: . I'm kind of hoping they are not permanent, but I suspect they are, maybe someone with more experience will help us.

Included were lots of attachments I have not had time to study yet. I even got the original receipt from 1919, and a history on the family that owned it.
You have a beautiful machine! Just clean it it with sewing oil numerous time over. It looks ready to go. Once I get finished the quilt I'm presently working on, I will be testing out my Davis NVF attachments and post on the attachment thread. |

My husband and I are working on designing a table I can use multiple sizes of machines in and I plan to treadle this machine. My husband rewired the original lamp so I can plug that in without having to use the motor. Lovely, beautiful stitch....
