I currently use a Consew walking foot sewing machine for ANYTHING heavy. I stupidly gave away my old Singer waling foot. I also have a plastic one for my Singer 403.

Anamaria, it was good to see you are Cathy's the other day. Were you there trying to find a HC for this machine? I also would love to get a HC for my New Home T NO 3, but as you know, the generic ones won't fit - so we have to find a vintage HC made for the New Home. I have had no luck trying to find an original HC.

Thank you for the nice compliments on the cigar box. I always keep old boxes around with some styro foam and cheap felt to make containers to store my sewing stuff. They are fun to make and easy. I also use tim boxes with hinged lid but I prefer the wooden ones they are a little more manly looking and although I sew I don't want to appear to girly either.:D

That's a clever idea. I'll borrow that. :thumbup:

ok so why did nothing change when I re did my settings? I poked all kinds of buttons and nothing changed and it won't put a picture up on the left where my name is... ah I just messed with my profile - there must be settings for the pages as well...

Miriam, After going into setting and changing the settings on the page that is up, you must hit the SAVE button (that I think is on bottom of the page).

Pictures loading may seem slower, but I like the resolution of the picture better.

You girly??? Never in a zillion years.
Love your quilt avatar though!
I might just have to gather up a few wooden boxes and metal tins I have stashed someplace and try making them into attachment boxes. The hard part will be finding them. I hate to admit that we moved up here 8 years ago and still have MANY boxes that aren't unpacked yet. Mostly craft stuff. I planned to have a sewing area in the basement but cement guy didn't put the insulation on the outside basement walls so it's too cold down there to do anything. I'm back to lugging sewing stuff back and forth. I hate having to put it all away when I'm done for the day.
