looked in bad shape --went for $ 17.50 the last second.
Figue QB member bought it.
I picked up my Singer Treadle yesterday so have enough work for myself. Owner put varithane over the wood cabinet that I believe is mahogany (not usual oak) decals are well worn. Need to buy bobbins have only 1 shuttle
type #8228. Bare machine --1 needle.
Planning before /after photo's within a month. Maybe stormy weather will be over.

Billy,
so glad you have time to join us --didn't know how much work around your place you would be busy with these days.
I will need your help later

I just found a 66 redeye with a backclamp foot and lots of extra feet in the box. It had an electric motor and the guy at the antique shop said it wasn't for sale because it didn't work! I am a terrible negotiator. It is missing the pin for the thread spool, but has the throat plate (even though it is rusty) which my other redeye is missing. How do I handle this guy? It is going to take lots of cleaning, but not as much as Helen required. I really don't want to spend more than $40 on it.

You can see the double needle that threaded the rest of the seam. They don't have to be nice looking, it's just the bottom of one pant leg....but he has to have dress pants for his upcoming choir concert and he ripped the side seam on his only pair.
All of his ripped jeans are going to magically turn into shorts for the summer....mostly cause I don't know how to repair anything. I won't patch knees, been there done that...just gotta figure out this seam thing. Clothes are so much harder than quilts!
