I have this sewing machine that had LaRaine on it but when I started cleaning it there was a Honeymoon decal underneath. The shuttle has Davis on it. Anyone seen or heard of one like it?
LaReine #1 b/4

The electric cord on side isn't being used; it is just sitting off to the side of treadle.
Isn't it fun to do decorative stitches on the treadle!

Yeah, I know, but I think I am far enough inland that I don't have to worry too much! Nancy
Nancy, if you believe what is written you need to worry as I read that the Sierra Mountains will be the new coast line. lol Kathie

My husband is a great thrift shop shopper and he brought me home jeans to alter, repair and shorten for our grandson and for 50 cents a pair for levis that looked nearly new I feel gratified saving my grandson money for new jeans. Just dive in and go for it. I used the same method for patching knees, open inseam so you have lots of room then close it back up when done. Hope this helps.

Wouldn't our great-grandmothers be proud to own a machine that made all the zig zag stitches? I can hear them now talking about owning one.
