Its all right by me, I want to put a crank on it (and I have one here handy!) and it is sure heavy enough already. I just had a question about it.
But, on a good note do you realize how rare it is to find a 15 with the Tiffany/Gingerbread decals! I'd love to own one! Nancy I didn't know the Gingerbread was harder to find. I am really pleased at the condition of the decals. I finally sewed with it last night - it sewed great - crank and all! Actually it was kond of fun! |

Gifted? Cursed? Not sure yet....it's kinda ragged, but we'll see what happens when I get a chance to work on it. Not soon, that's for sure. I'm up to my eyeballs right now. |

Funniest thing!! Two days ago when my 15 clone arrived, my DH says, "You need to think about NO MORE MACHINES right now...we have other priorities". I agreed with him. Well, same night is when Dottie gave me the 15, and I brought it home and told him.."we're in trouble...machines are starting to follow me home." When I told him about it being frozen up, etc, he just shook his head. Last night he says "I'm kinda interested in working on that 15 she gave you." WHAT??? :shock: HaHa!! I think he's caught the bug!! |
This Vesta is to drool over. Sometimes, I just like to torture myself wandering the CL; oh well, it's fun and educational-and free way to learn.
http://frederick.craigslist.org/fuo/2582730936.html Some machines are just for the looking. For me, this one is just for the looking...it was a pleasure for just the peek!!! |

There is one person that has taken a FW and converted it to treadle, can't remember where I read that, but I read it. And it can be done, treadling a FW, just need to make a cabinet top to fit on top of treadle-and remove motor. This is a no-brainer..... |
