#14
[QUOTE=miz mary;5105465]I loaned Betty Blue to my SIL about 3 years ago , so she could sew some things for her grandaughter for Christmas ..... then there was a big family falling out, and I wrote Betty Blue off as a garage sale casualty ..... then, out of the BLUE ( hahaaaa ) they returned this machine to me - they are moving again and found her ! Things are better somewhat in the family dynamics , I am taking this return as a peace offering , since they could have easily sold her in one of thier MANY garage sales ..... I DO need to clean her up , vaccume her out , and I may be the winner of an ebay set of cams for her !!!
I *think* she's a 1964 ...
[B][COLOR=#40e0d0]WELCOME HOME BETTY BLUE !!!!
Lovely! I have a little powder blue scooter I call "Betty Blue", actually for my mother, Betty, who we always called Betty Blue because of her love of blue. It's funny to hear someone else use it! Thanks!,

I WON !!! I have cams now !! I cant wait for them to arrive !! I found bobbins that fit , and the machine runs really well !! NO tension issues !! Question ..... the pedal is hard for me to use ... like I cant find a smooth spot - it goes reallt fast !!! Are you suposed to oil it or do you just get used to it , like a learning curve ??

I used to be a sewing teacher, and I've tore apart every brand of machine there is. LOL! I had to replace nylon gears in a 70s era Singer which wasn't as hard as I had expected. I once saved a doorstop 222 featherweight that lived behind someone's garage for 2 decades. The poor abused thing!!! I bought it for $40, had it repainted, and then I fixed the parts that needed fixing and sold it on ebay for $1200. But that was back when the prices were sky high. Today they don't get nearly as high.
