If I knew of someone who had a machine and could do it for me, I'd pay good money. I only need 16 of those tags, and 5 that say "from mom....", and 3 that say "from great gram ... " so I guess you're right...why add another machine to the mix. I've heard they can cause headaches too and I already have a cause for them!! LOL! Thanks for pulling me out of the muck!

can you make a wanted post on QB? I think that or FM the tags. I have a friend in Cincinnati says she charges $1 an inch. I can't buy a machine for that. I noticed Muv FMs words on some of her quilts - might just take practice - maybe do a heart and mom or something easy - use an embroidery hoop and practice - I bet by #16 you would have it down good.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...c-t162425.html Since this one somehow got on the radar in the picture section, I'm bringing it up here again. I've got it in almost running order. It has a bit of a tug on the thread when I turn the hand wheel still - it might work but just hand turning it makes it hard to tell. It needs power, whether E, HC or T, I don't know yet. Each has an issue. E needs wires. DH hasn't had time... HC needs some work on a wheel and treadling needs a treadle - I have nothing that will let it just drop in and treadle. Has anybody taken the top off an E cabinet and put it on a treadle base?

Not a chance! He says I can not have anything else that requires a vet!

Congratulations Kathie - Wow 50 years!!!!!!

An Icelandic is a small horse. There is one for sale near me that is the cutest thing ever! Solid black with a long mane and tail and the grandkids and I could ride him!

Bobbin case in wrong? oh my..this is going to cause a flurry of questions ....
I will take another look this evening... fingers crossed... as I am itching to sew on this 15.

The 201 is bringing me more joy then I could have imagined and it doesn't even have a potted motor!!

Happy Anniversary to everyone! We'll have 34 years in April.

Monica,
I love your star, I relate to having problems with stars like this one not laying flat. I call them "D cups" when they do that. rofl

[ATTACH=CONFIG]312234[/ATTACH]I am going to try and post Kathie's new Free Westinghouse, but for some reason it doesn't want to up load to our shop! Yeah! I had to shrink it, but it finally worked!

201s are awesome machines! Is yours still with an external motor or in treadle? If you don't have it in treadle, you should.
