I just love it and so does my DH. You have a real treasure there.

Happy Quilting :thumbup: Nancy |
She is a beauty and that deco cabinet is gorgeous.

Great machine and the cabinet is fantastic.

She looks like she is going to be a "hard worker".

Polly, I am just a talented woman :oops: lol . I wish I could take the credit for this :arrow: It is Lostn51 (Billy). He has done amazing tuts to restore old sewing machines ~ even does custom paint jobs. I followed his steps with his products and viola. :lol: :mrgreen: I did purchase a repair manual for this machine. It was very valuable with the issues that I had. We are very fortunate to have Billy with us :thumbup: Please PM me if you need any help in restoring a machine. Always willing to share what I have learned. Happy Quilting :-D Nancy |
Love the art deco cabinet. Great machine

I've just started "dabbling" in fixing up vintage sewing machines. I have been on the lookout for a 301! What a beauty--I'm happy for you...and a little envious!

This is the first 'art deco' sewing machine cabinet I have ever seen. Gorgeous!
