Thank you Mirium. Great info to have as my search begins for a hand crank in excellent condition. Oiling I can do but removing rust - not anymore. Just to keep on sewing as long as I can :)

I haven't been in this thread for awhile so sorry if my memory doesn't serve me right. I would pick up this machine for the person that wants a Pink sewing machine and I can ship it to you. Or if you are in Nebraska will be there next week can do it as carry on luggage.

Lisa what a cute machine!

What a generous offer! Pink is not for me, but I like the design of the machine. Merry Christmas!

They want way to much to have to ship it anywhere - locally maybe.

I was looking at the Dallas,Texas Craig's List and found this beauty. Serious pitty pat factor! OOOHH

Oooohhhh, I like this machine. Not kidding about the pitty pat factor.

Have you seen this post http://www.quiltingboard.com/links-r...ml#post6469004 ?

I downloaded it on my devices since it is free. I was amazed at how much it covers on sewing machines, including vintage machines. You will want to take a look at it for sure.

Merry Christmas!

I saw that post and downloaded my free copy too! Love this board!

Can someone tell me how to download it to my computer? It only gives the choice of kindle and I don't have one of those.
