I plugged her in and she runs. Now to begin the deep cleaning and oiling she needs. BTW, a manual came with her. Whoohooo!
What is the red plastic thing in the shuttle case? I think I will name her Marilyn after Marilyn Monroe. |

Also, the sew classic that everyone talks about, is that online or is it a brick and mortar shop somewhere? Thank you. Melissa Sew Classic is an online shop... Thanks again! |
Thanks for the answer on the attachments for the low shank machines. Now I need to know what I can use to remove surface rust or corrosion from the chrome attachments, They aren't bad but they can't be used as they are. Ann

Havent been sewing a lot this summer, but decided to make dgs a cellphone case today. My modern Janome, which I really like, refuses to sew on some of the fabrics I llike to use for bags and such. But I can always count on my vintage. Every time this happens I ask myself why I wasnt using them in the first place. Just had to share this experience you all have discovered long ago.
