I thought it was an old fashioned computer mouse inadvertently attached to a sewing machine and trying to escape/
Let's play a game. It's called "What is it?" from tantalizing CL pictures.

When asked the model or for another picture with the machine itself, the seller said she thought it was a Singer. I had already figured that from the cabinet style and the poor dangling 2-button foot controller.

My guess is a Singer 15-91.

Nancy,
I just gave your husband the extra hinges. I'm crossing my fingers that one combo works.
"fix that 28 with blunt force" Let us call that gentle persuasion. I was actually just opening up the thread embrasure.
It was so tight that the thread popped through it, therefore giving the thread a momentary super high tension and causing the upper thread to bunch up on the bottom (AKA thread barf). I hope that was clearer that mud.

Nancy, What type of sewing projects do you have going with the grandkids? A pillowcase project, pot holders?
I wish my son would take a greater interest in sewing. My daughter loves to sew and create her own patterns.
She will inherit all my vintage e-machines.

My New Home A-1 (For Texas Jan)
Attempting to upload some photos of my New Home for Texas Jan. The bed decal on this one is actually pretty good, so took a close up. It was actually that bed decal that caused me to go over budget on this one!! (I know, I know; but there's no reasoning with a collector.)

Miz Johnny, The bed decal is still gorgeous. So much detail went into making that drawing.
I'm assuming that the decals were hand painted.

Monica, you remember all the sewing projects the kids have done? They all made a lap sized quilt, placemats using their hands for the moose head and antlers, oak leaf bowls out of felt to hold nuts, quilted bags for their 'stuff,' reverse applique pillow covers, pillow cases, and we tore apart T-shirts to make into skirts and sleeveless tank tops, I am running out of ideas! Anyway, this time we have been hiking/running 2 miles everyday. The 3 year old and I ride the quad! One of the kids rides her horse, the rest run! Their parents are really animate about them getting enough exercise - they don't get to watch TV/I-pods all day! I made a breakfast this morning with 18 eggs! Anyway, I am tired but loving it. The kids are growing up. There are two 16 year olds, two 14 year olds, one 13, one 12, one 9, and the 3 year old. Grampa left for a few hours today - Hummmm I wonder why?
