This is his page

Ideas?
If this doesn't cut it I'd try non pumice gogo with soft cloth or 0000 wool. Gogo is harsher on the decals than the SM oil

Thank you so much, we'll give it a try. I'm giving a treadle to my sister for Christmas / Birthday and it has this fine mist of paint...
I'll give it a try.

Has anyone tried this in their quilting? IF so, how well does it quilt?

I have a Ruffler attachment, back clamp for a 66-1 in very good condition if anyone needs one. PM me, and maybe we can trade for something I need.

Miriam, glad to hear of your new grandbaby, and that he's hale and healthy!! I expected a tiny little guy, but he's a perfect size--nice and compact for hauling around!! Have fun with him!!

I have been busy sewing. I am using my 319w now a lot. I made a small wall hanging for my daughter; and, now I am making my daughter and daughter-in-law new Christmas placemats. We are tired of the old ones I made a few years ago! I am in love with the 319w! But man, I have a healthy appreciation for the ladies that treadled all day long - my legs ache! I thought I was in pretty good shape too! My DH thinks it is funny!
Here is a gem - anyone guess the age? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/clt/2729438802.html
