Thought you might want to see what my DH does with wood which is similar to what we do with fabric. Love that guy, for sure!

Charlee, I just tried to PM you and can't get through. You have used up all of your available space and need to delete some. Just thought I'd let you know. Just how many messages are we allowed anyway?

Well, yall are giving me the fever for another sewing machine, with all your nice new pretties, and fixer-uppers. I hope Miriam can teach us all something after class is over. There is an estate sale I will be driving by in the morning on my paper route.....hope there is something good, reasonably priced. Maybe that will cure the fever. Until I find another one I like. I have an open offer on one like your new one, Charlee, for $20 (her price) in a queen anne cabinet, with almost all the attachments. I guess I may call the lady up soon.......

Linda, those bowls are beautiful. Your Hubby is very talented.
Candace, thanks for the tutorial on the flat spot of the elna. I have one that needs the same work done to it. Also have another white elna with a plastic storage box but never thought about it going under the machine (dah). After I saw yours I went right in and put it where it belongs.
Charlee, like the looks of your new machine too. It doesn't pay to say I have no more room because those little machines like to follow us home any way.

Hey all, I just made a step by step of how I redressed my vintage Elna pulley (rather than buy a new one and replace). I hope it helps someone else as 90% of these machines that have sat longer than a month without use will get a flat spot on the pulley and sound like jackhammers. Here's the link. http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...ml#post5191210

Hey all....we had a little chat about rayon a few weeks ago and someone else posted this link as to why not to use rayon in quilting and for projects that get a lot of use. It's a good read and explains it better than I did:> http://www.superiorthreads.com/educa...-fiber-viscose

Candace, how did you discover that the problem was a flat spot on the pulley? Geeze, I watched you sewing - it sounds great. I also went to the tute you made - great job! Thank you! Great information for the rest of us. I don't have an Elna, but who knows I may find one someday and this information is great to have!

I'm using up what I have. I paid to much to chuck it:< But, I'm sticking to poly embroidery thread when I buy any now.
