I spent many hours cleaning her.Then I made a walnut base for her.After all that I threaded her up and she sewed like a champ-I am doing a happy dance.

GORGEOUS!!!

I am jealous. I'm on the lookout for a hand-crank. This one is BEAUTIFUL!

Great job on the base, too...

thanks,she was in a treadle but the cabinet was not great and I did not have room for it that way.

Great job!

Thanks Rodney. What would you use tomake a little cleaner and nice and shiny.So far I just used liquid wrench on it and then oiled moving parts.

So pretty! I have her "sister" but the decals on yours are so much better than mine!

Beautiful work! That machine looks almost too beautiful to use.

I think you're pretty much there. Just make sure you have all the liquid wrench cleaned off.

If it were mine I would make sure the LW was cleaned off and then try TR3 Resin Glaze. It does a wonderful job of shining up the black machines. Be sure to test it first. I haven't had a problem with it ruining decals but testing is always a good idea.

So, so, so jealous! Gorgeous machine, and beautiful base. I wish I were that talented.
