Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
[ATTACH=CONFIG]317951[/ATTACH]Wow, Charlee I love the Hitachi treadle. It is still strange to me and exciting to own my Hitachi given that Hitachi claims they did not ever make sewing machines - yet, Monica found several of them listed in Japan! I just sent my e-mail to the wrong department in Hitachi - still makes it a fun machine to own! I have not seen another Hitachi here in the states, though!Nancy
I still would love to know the history of that machine, but for now it will remain a mystery.
Missed you all!! Did you miss me????
Of course we missed you. Glad you made it through the tornado weather. We had tornado watches. Where I live we have mountains around us so usually breaks up the strong storms. Love these mountains.

I worked a bit on the tension, had to take an 1/8th turn out of the bobbin tension. It was too tight. That seemed so even up the stitch quite a bit. Only sewing something will tell me for sure.
There is one annoying thing this machine has been doing and I found out why. When I set the stitch control lever to the longest stitch the first revolution of the machine bumps it up about two stitch sizes.
Well, the shafts and rods are hitting each other underneath. I probably did that when I adjusted the feed dogs. Something else to play with.

YES! I thought of you during the reports of the tornados and hoped that the wedding went on. I have been praying for everyone that lives in the area of the nasty weather and torandos...been checking to see who posts, and if they are safe.
And this is why I want a basement. The legs on this lady are cute! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/2888084166.html

I did manage to find something for Margie (the member, not the machine! ) She's been looking for New Home attachments for her treadle, and I found a set for her!

You can be sure that if I get a chance to go to a California TOGA, that I'll be blasting the news every other post in here!!
It is surgery for cancer one big spot and several smaller spots. Buddy, a boxer, is 10.5 years old and we love him dearly and are going through with this one. We hope it willl nip the spider cell cancer (malignant) in the bud and that it hasn't spread but big spot is growing so we are worried. Trust our vet implicitly to do the right and best thing for him. His pre-surgery and older doggy bloodwork came back excellent so vet is optimistic. She too has a boxer but only 5 years old so she does know what we are facing with him. Thanks for asking and glad Mowgli and you are doing well.
