I was soooo bummed. It was in the cabinet for $25...but I couldn't be sure it was the exact model as the photo was blurry. No details on the machine were listed and it was a 50 min. each way drive for me, so I sent the seller an e-mail asking what model it was. He never answered and the ad was down today:< So, someone nearby got a great deal. Booo for me.

Well, we just had some job stuff this week and we are probably not going to be able to go on any road trips for some time!! So, it looks like I'm going to have to find one locally. Though I'd love a visit to your place sometime!! I guess the whole saying you snooze you lose is apt here. But, if you do see one listed on your CL I'd sure appreciate the heads up so I can at least covet it heavily over the net.

AW...you're sweet Charlee. Hopefully another will pop up and thanks for being another set of eyes!

Last weekend, I cleaned up the National machine titled "The Eldredge", and this weekend I got her to stitch.
If my memory is correct, this machine should use a different needle than the standard 15x1, but I was able to use a 15x1 needle in the machine. I just slip the needle down a bit until it picked up the shuttle thread to produce a stitch. I still say the machine has lost its soul. When starting to treadle the machine makes a groan and a clunking sound, like something is rubbing. When I look at all the parts that I can see, I can find where the sound is coming from. After I get into the groove of treadling, the machine acts beautiful with no sounds but the shuttle in the race moving back and forth. It is only the initial turn of the wheel that the clunking and groan is heard. I plan to just bring the machine head to the up coming TOGA gathering in Turlock in hopes that someone else my know what is happening. It could just be a case of old age for this sad gal, along with the fact that the machine hasn't been used in decades (my bones would ache and groan too). Cathy, can you please tell me what is the correct needle for this National. |

Candace that is a cute White. Is that the White that was meant to be the Singer FW competition. If I were into machines with motors, this White is one that I would love to own, but I'm not. Cute machine, enjoy!!
