    That's a pretty neat underside of a machine. I can't wait to see more.

    DH is getting my Singer 24 up and running. This machine is really pretty after a light oil cleaning!

    I'm very curious to see the rest of this machine! I know nothing about machines from that era, other than that they "look cool" and are totally fascinating, lol.
    Tonight I get to clean the topside.

    Here is a shot of that in the "before" state.

    That is SO cool! The handcrank version of that is on my want list.

    Very pretty 24! I think the prettiest one I've seen. I don't recall that decal pattern on the few others I've seen here.
    Steve that machine is very interesting. That must be a tall base it sits on to clear the wheel. I would love to see the complete setup.

    That is the hand crank version - that is what is laying to the back of the machine. DH took it off to get it cleaned and operating smoothly. This is going to be a fun machine to sew with.

    Now I need to go find a needle for it so DH can get it to sew

    darn- discovered I don't have any needles for the Singer 24 - got some one the way, but it's going to be a few more days before we can see if it will sew.
