Your machine looks great hope you have fun sewing on her.
I have a brother machine that is tan in color with all the jewelry and cams. I like sewing on her and she is quite also. Mine is a 1964 model and in a cabinet.

Thanks,

My DH and I went away for a couple of days and my eletronics engineer son fiddled with it and when I got back, he had it sewing a fine seam!! Am so pleased! There is a picture of it on this vintage thread on pg. 1034 if anyone is interested. Found the relics website and am pretty sure that I have found a manual for this machine. Will send for it when I finish the Antique riding clothes relining job. Want to do a doll quilt on it!
Will now try to locate a coffin cover for it. Thanks to everyone who gave me tips on where to search.

Looking at your avatar, it looks like you are into horses too. My horse is 32 years old and we are growing old together!

Any ideas on where to get the part for it? Anyone have extra parts for The Free No.5? I am going to call a local repairman. The machine was in Illinois, I brought it with me to Georgia. my serial # is C78415

I am SO stinkin' excited!! I got an email from Mike this morning telling me that he does indeed have not only the spooler (bobbin winder) that I need, but he also has a full set of the glass presser foot inserts AND two metal ones...for my WW8!!
I've spun around in my chair so much since I got his email that I'm dizzy!!! :lol:

I have a second quilt I am making for the almost 3 year old's birthday! It is a simple row quilt - he was with me in the fabric store and wanted Grammama to get some Dinosaur Train fabric, his favorite TV show, so I got stuck making this one! His birthday is in 3 weeks and the quilt has to fit a double bed - not his crib!

I love making quilts for kids and babies since the fabrics are so cute. I also love it when the kids picks out the fabrics for their quilt, makes it even more special. He is going to love that quilt!

Your yellow Brother turned "Buick", reminds me of one of my parents' car. It was a yellow Chrysler New Yorker. Man, was that car ever huge… a true tank! When it had mechanical problems, it was called the lemon. When the car was running well, we called it the tank. My parent held onto that car until it turned brown and died. Oh, and when it turn brown from rust spots, we called it the brown banana.
I'm liking everyone's zig-zag machines!
