I found this Singer Darning & Embroidery Foot at the thrift store I work in this past week. I haven't tried it out yet, been working too much. Hope to be able to next few days. No date on it, but small print says "for all slant needle zig-zag sewing machines". Cool, huh? bobbie

It can not be cured only the symptoms can be tamed and I will die because of it it just depends when God calls me up. But for now I am going to the doctors tomorrow and we are starting the treatments and hopefully by the end of the year I will be under control and I can get back to doing what I love working on sewing machines!!!
Any how I am going to meander through a few pages and see what all you guys found and I will be back tomorrow to let everyone know what is going on. Billy |

I spent late last night (very early morning) trying to improve the look of my machine binding work. This is what I came up with after many trial and errors. I absolutely LOVE the duct tape on the attachments!! It made me smile!! :) |

I'm enjoying the process...I think it's going to have big rewards when it's done! :) Hazel is gorgeous, even before cleaning! When you are all finished cleaning her up, she will shine. Enjoy your time with her! ;) |

My son has made wallets with duck tape. Anyway, Have fun with that Davis; she is beautiful! |

I received free, an older metal, Montgomery Ward sewing machine. It looks great but the gears are frozen. A repair man has had it soaking in something for over a month and is giving it back to me. It is still frozen but he said it would cost over 200.00 to take apart the gears and fix it to run. The motor hums along, so I know it is ok. Anyone have any ides about this little problem! I like the machine because you can drop the feed dogs, it is nice and clean and there is no rust.
