My case stunk too-- so much so that it couldn't be brought into the house and the stink got on the machine, as well. I tried the OdorEaters but they didn't quite do it. I ended up wiping down the inside of the case with diluted bleach, then leaving it open in the sunshine. It smells much better now.
I read that a fungus (mildew?) grows in the glue in the lining of the box. I think the horse glue breaking down is a better rationale. Whatever the cause, it's awful and you don't want it! |
Lil Debbie is a nice name for her. Beautiful machine.

She is Beautiful. Congrats

Gorgeous! When I got mine it had a bar of lever 2000 in it. Since that's what dh uses, it just smells like him now.

Try wrapping machine in NewsPaper then stuff the case with crumpled news paper. Leave it for a few days (I no hard to do) News paper will take the smell of fish out of an Ice Chest so might work worth a try.

So nice! Years ago my grandmom had a treadle machine I played with and learned to sew with. After she passed away my grandad gave it to a cousin who got rid of the machine and made a planter from the table! I was so upset when I saw that. I mentioned it to my mom and she was just as aggravated as I was. I would have loved to have gotten my hands on that machine!

Mini-me is my vote! Congrats on the new member to your family.
|
put newpaper wadded up in the case. I have two FW and I sew all the time on one of them. The other I just look at
|
She's a beaut!!! You will have many hours of enjoyment with her.

Beautiful machine. For the case lots of outside air & Febreze may help get rid of the order. I had the same problem with my Featherweight case.
