Aaagh, sorry Billy, amend that to "...ladies and gents, you are all in the wrong country."

If we're talking politics, I decided years ago that there isn't a country that's sane enough to be worth emigrating to. Quilts and old sewing machines are a wonderful refuge from the nonsense that surrounds us.

Nice looking machines.

Both are so pretty-enjoy them.

Oh Jacquie, those are looooovely! Those are my second favorite decals, and they are both in great shape. What a score!

The top one looks very much like the one my SIL has in her garage. :? When she showed it to me recently, my heart skipped a beat. Hers was built in 1924 IIRC and somewhere along the line, it had been motorized. Once it is shipped here and cleaned up, I just may return it to its original state and learn to treadle on it.

I just think the sphinx and the lotus designs are so graceful. And the redhead too. And they sew like a dream, from what I hear. Beauty and function all in one great package. Lucky you!

Today I have been cleaning up a 28K with a view to posting a video on our Youtube channel - Muvandfarve . It will be full instructions on how to clean and oil a vintage machine. I'll post the link as soon as it's posted, which should be in a few days.

Can't believe the prices you pay in the States. Sorry ladies, you are all in the wrong country.

We've had a busy time making videos about cleaning up a machine. It's a 1900 Singer 28K, and the video turned into a two part epic, 26 minutes in total, so you might need a cup of tea and a sandwich to keep you going. You can watch on Youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bidpJsAzc2A for Part 1 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKR5t4DyPwM for Part 2

just LOVED your youtube vids...thank you ever so much!!!

Absolutely delighted that you enjoyed them, and thank you so much for subscribing to our channel. And also, isn't it amazing that the machine I cleaned up on video is exactly the same as one of yours!
