Wrap on vintage machines
Sorry if this is a silly question, but here goes: I frequently see pictures of vintage machines with some sort of fabric wrap on it. Can anyone tell me what the purpose is/was? Thanks in advance! Holly

Those wrapping you see are also the cause of a lot of needle damage to the finish.
Here's my New Home AB when I first got it home:

You can see the two needle bands on it.
After cleaning:

You can see the damage to the finish where the bands were.
Those bands are the worst idea anyone ever came up with. I always try to ignore machines with such bands on them.
