chris-quilts, Your turquoise machine looks like a clone of a White, not a Singer. Even that particular bright shade. I have a Universal that is similar, though it has white trim and is a ZZ machine. Can't see how it sews - the wiring is beyond shot.

There is a tutorial for the fabric bowls on here - at least there was before the new format.

I told her if there was nothing majorly wrong when I got there, I'd take it. I'm hoping she isn't fishing for "bids" and sells it before I can make it out there and that it's not horribly messed up in some way. If nothing else, I get a nice road trip and visit with family.

I'll back off then. I told her yesterday morning I wanted it, but would have to get to Ft Worth to pick it up. I don't really need it (even thou it is on my bucket list). I'd be sure she still had it before I drove very far.

I must have missed that tute. Great idea, think I'll make a few for my DH, it will save hot fingers when he nukes stuff.

Miriam, thanks for taking the time to look those up again. I was perusing some last night. I wish they had one on there for just a featherweight, but I'm assuming the steps are similar.
