I took my Singer 28 to a re-enactment celebrating the town of Booneville, Texas. I don't know who was more fasinated, the kids or the parents. I let everyone who wanted to turn the handcrank as I guided the fabric. I am making quilts on each of my old machines and putting a picture on the back of the machine I used. For this machine, I chose a spool block. The block is a lot younger than the machine but it was next up in my to do pile. The machine got people to sharing about old machines their grandmothers had. What a great day.

It is fun bringing the old handcranks to events. Kids love them. If you want a kid to sew, a hand crank s a great way to get them interested.

Maggie, I wish I knew you were in Bryan, I just left there visiting family. I am a native TX living in Huntsville,AL and we go to TX twice a year. I hope we can meet up sometimes. I have the 28 HC and it is a wonderful machine.

Maggie, did you get a picture of them using the hand crank? We would love to see it if you did. Sounds like a wonderful day. I know my 10 year old grandson loves to play on my hand cranks.
