I keep seeing everyone's cleaned up machines and am jealous. I have 2 I'm at the kerosene cleaning stage on, but it's supposed to be above 110 here for the next week at least. I'm going stir crazy--I want to go outside and work on mine to make them as pretty! :(

I will have two more coming in a few years ( I hope). I got to thinking when is enough, enough. I have come up with the right answer, which is , when there are no more sewing machines out there to be had. Hubby had to work on one of my Red Eyes as the bobbin winder was not lined up right. It took it about two hours as one of the springs would not stay in right and kept popping out. He did get it and I was able to mend my night grown on the treadle. What fun. Kathie
Congratulations on finding homes for two of your machines. I am probably going to add two to my collection tomorrow. I am going to see the Two Spools (machine only) with attachments and manual, and the Hitachi that I have been trying to see for two weeks!
