Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Thanks for the compliments, Charlee and everyone. I have a 128 that has that decal. I took a picture of my decal and did a lot of work in my Photostudio software and digitally cleaned it all up. Then printed it on waterslide decal paper from Hobby Lobby. It is a very slow process but it does work. I'm trying to recreate some decals on one of my old ones, A 1907 New Home.

I imagine it has to do with the treadling somehow then and maybe the movement to get it to sew would need some practice? You're certain that what you have in it is the 206 x 13 needle? Glen will have to chime in with his thoughts on it. I'm sure between all the brain surgeons here, we'll give you some things to try:> Happy Turkey Day.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!! It has been a great holiday....both our girls came in for dinner last night, then went to lunch today with their other halves, and younger one came home to make quillow Christmas presents with me. She was having trouble with her newer machine, and learned that vintage does better. She was using a Japanese 15 and loved it. Gives me a idea of what she needs for Christmas anyway. And older daughter used another machine to mend her dress, so we have had a sewing holiday. I wanted to work on some of my own projects, but am just going to make a short night of it. Hope you all had good holidays too.
Had a nice day today....with one exception. Fairly quiet morning, baked some bread rolls, and got ready to go to my sister's when Chip, my little furbaby, started crying...LOUD!! Didn't want his belly touched, just wanted to cuddle with me, which in itself is unusual, since our pets have always preferred the spousal unit to me. He's like his dad (our toy poodle that we lost last year) tho, he prefers William until he hurts, then he wants me. We put in a call to the vet, who told us that considering that he'd gone potty earlier and then ate some soft food as a treat, that he probably had a gas bubble that was trapped.
We reluctantly left him and went to dinner at my sister's, but left early to come home so we could check on him...OMG!! We couldn't FIND him! Panic time! Turned out he had somehow shut himself in the bathroom! He was so happy to see us, and did his normal running back and forth between us, jumping and twisting. Our little guy is back to normal!
Melinda, hopefully someday I'll get to live close enough to my kids that I can sew with my daughter in law! Sounds like you had a GREAT day!

Just finished 20 Christmas coasters for a party on the 8th. Used my 403A with a double needle, everything worked great. Sewed through 8 layers to do the top stitching.
Was finally able to check out the stack on my 401A, everything seems to be working as it ought to with it. But the machine seems to hesitate between each stitch. Anyone have any idea what caused this? It is threaded correctly, the bobbin is in correctly and the tension is correct. The stitch made is a beautiful stitch, the machine just chugs along hesitating between each stitch.
