Great Case!! I just got a neat bentwood case with an old 101 in it (electric). Out it came and my Red Eye HC went in perfectly. Sure beats the old white plastic case, ugh.

That's right!


Hey, what can you do with a fried old Singer that looks like this:

The inner workings can probably be freed up to sew, but what can you do to improve the cosmetics of a machine like this?

Send it to Dr. Billy for cosmetic surgery (face lift)

Just follow Billy's tute. It can be cleaned up.

We are pretty spoiled, aren't we? LOL...
I don't own a FW or a Lotus, and I don't even attend any classes. I was just thinking out loud. Maybe the new craze, a reason to own a Lotus along with the FW. Others can enjoy their FWs, for now I'm happy with the machines I have -and my treadles.

Was it in the floods and damgae from Katrina? Just a thought when I saw the location. Also wondered about that fair condition.
