OK I am in a bind. Fixing a machine and can't afford to get some briwax to prevent rusting on the plated parts. However, I did read that 2-3 coats of clear finger nail polish will prevent rust on metal surfaces? Would this be safe or work? Anyone tried it?

I use Kit automotive wax. Or a light coat of oil will do it. Nail polish is a lacquer, you need to be very careful where you put it. I can damage other paint and decals too.

I have come across some strange odds and ends that end up with sewing machines from time to time. Some of them I have no idea what they are for. I found a scraper in with a vintage Pfaff a while back and kept it thinking that it didn't go with the sewing machine. The other day I was looking through an attachment box for another vintage Pfaff and found the same scraper. It could be just by chance, but I am thinking that it is not. Can anyone tell me what this tool is for sure and what do you do with it?

If the edge is sharp, it's probably a buttonhole cutter/chisel.

My Alden's Magic ZZ came with a wooden handled tool with 3 or 4 sharp blades. In the owners manual it has instructions on how to use it for cutting button holes.
Pretty neat stuff these machines come with. Joe |
Feldman sewing machine

Does anyone know anything about a Feldman sewing machine?

I found one on an auction...
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8004855 The machine can't be older than the company: http://businessprofiles.com/details/...s-inc/NY-11393 They also made hat stretchers: http://www.americanheritage.com/content/stretcher-hat Makes me sort of wonder if that machine was for sewing hat bands - sews near the edge sort of like a free arm with harp space. Glenn you could have a whole new career... It looks like Feldman has changed what they do over the years... |
