    Hey has anyone noticed the page count has almost grown by 1000 + pages?

    You all have been really busy since the last time I was on here last night!

    That's OK, pretty often I don't either. The Singer 206 was the first to use the 206 x 13 needle and it's Singers first zig zag for home use in early to mid 50's. I don't believe it was a popular or successful model. This is in reference to machines that use the 206 x 13 needle.

    Oh.O.K.!!! Thanks, I was clueless for a minute:> So, the 206, 306, 319 and 320 round out the crew that take the 206 x 13 then...

    Ack. A huge sewing machine graveyard. Yes, I'm sure there are treasures in there but it still makes me sad:<

So Monica and Sharon you two are not the only ones with those HC's on a Singer! I am going to put the HC on the 66 I just took out of the treadle. That 66 is complete except for the spool pin, which it now has!

    I never thought I'd get one of those funky looking HC's, but I now have one too!

    Are you going to paint over the funky decals or leave them?

I have my Free treadle, another e machine( that I would like to see if I could convert to treadle machine), and some other vintage cabinet items out in that space right now. I was thinking of clearing out a small section, putting the lockers in for my own mini collection, and keeping the Free treadle out there (I have no space inside the home). The carpet is gray; so, I like the idea of red lockers.
    Monica, that would look so cool....red lockers!!

    Two of my Singers have that same hole...not sure why, but it's OK. No worry!!
