Dear Friends;
This is what happens when you have a 4 hour drive to a 6 hour meeting and then a 4 hour ride home. You listen to Christmas carols and think up new lines to old songs. I did this strictly for amusement - mine as the ride gets tiresome. 12 Days of Christmas ~ Quilters version 1st day of Christmas a vintage sewing machine 2nd day of Christmas 2 seam rippers 3rd day of Christmas 3 new pairs of scissors 4th dya of Christmas 4 packs of needles 5th day of Christmas 5 rolls of batting 6th day of Christmas 6 vintage presser feet 7th day of Christmas 7 quarts of Tri-flow oil 8th day of Christmas 8 vintage quilt tops 9th day of Christmas 9 hours of uninterrupted quilting time 10th day of Christmas 10 vintage bobbins 11th day of Christmas 11 cones of thread 12th day of Christmas 12 bolts of fabric |

Hi Everyone,
Not sure where on the board to post this, but I will start here, if anyone thinks I should move it over to another part, let me know. I just wanted to share what I found at Walmart that really works well to clean up the plated metal parts of your vintage machine. There was some discussion recently about doing this and I couldnt find what someone else recommended. I met a nice young man in Walmart today in the auto department. I explained to him what I was wanting to do. He informed me that he used to sell Kirby vacs and whenever he had to go out on a demo, he would shine up the metal parts with this: Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish. He said if I tried it and didnt like it, to bring it back. That kind of customer service is a rare thing in Walmart, so I bought it. $4.97 for a small jar of it. It worked like a charm on my White FR machine that I am cleaning up to sell. So far I have cleaned the bobbin cover and it really shined up nicely. Will try to take some "before and afters" as I move along on the clean up detail. Hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas! Jody |
Great place to post it Jody! Thanks! I've heard of "Mother's", but so far haven't tried it...good to have another opinion! :)
