My oldest functional machine. I have a full set of back clamping feet. I just got the bobbin winder working properly, just needed a new tire for it.

I don't know what clamping feet are, but you sure have a pretty machine. Those red eyes are nice. All the ones I've seen are treadles, no electric ones.

Am I the world's worst mom or what? I have to keep my 7 year old home today as he's sick.....so I'm trying to figure out which sitter to use so I can go to my sewing machine class today and pick up my new machine! RRRGGG...Looks like we'll be making a field trip with some coloring books and crayons, provided his fever is low. If it won't come down...I'll probably have to reschedule picking her up.
I really want to get her home!

Thanks

Chris, on the other hand, should be able to find an allotted date for the NA series because those machines were made in South Carolina - unless those are also lost records.

Oh and to the person who asked about the back clamping feet - that is just the way you attach the foot to the machine. Most machine feet attach on the side now a days - those very old machines had feet that attached with a screw to the back of the bar.

Looks like it should be worth a $. If it comes with a foot pedal I know DH would buy it. But, we are about 1100 miles from the machine.
