Hope everyone is having a GREAT week, see you soon!! :)

Well, I didn't have any problems - we met in a parking lot at a local shopping plaza. Just mover her MIL to a nursing home and was selling her things. Here are some pictures of my newest machine - good thing it's small, I'm running out of room!

is the small hand crank really considered a TOY? Looks like a full blown sewing machine---------just small.

Sure - anytime!

I LOVE my little model 20!! It's so much fun to play with, and makes a perfect chain stitch. The manual is so cute in the way it reads...
You got a nice one there! :)

I shortened the belt and stuck together with dental floss then I put a bushing between the machine and the balance wheel to give the balance wheel room for the belt. I'm wondering if it needs a heavier balance wheel. The end knob some times comes off. It still shreds the belt. I sure am getting a work out - legs are saying I had too much fun. I think I will like it for detail work - an electric goes way to fast some times. I also noticed that the lid with the stitch info has different information than the 401a.
I haven't tried to do anything with the 411G yet - it should be just about the same as the 401G. I also have a Bernina 530 that has electrical issues. I'm wondering if anybody has tried to treadle that one?
The computer my pictures is on went down - I'll try to get some up later.
