I love the look of these green Bernina, very handsome.

I love the look of this one since it is the fiddle head.

I don't know what it is, but I'd love to have that machine. Maybe a late model Singer 15 with a potted motor?
UGH!! the cabinet has that nasty 1970s era "antiqued" paint.

I made my felt a little "tall" so that when i put the cover plate on it squeezes it just a little to kinda force a little oil out into the shuttle "raceway" just a little amount is all that is needed too much and it soaks your thread and can lead to problems.

Ok, thanks. I have felt I can use.

Having that oil wick in place and oiled really helps the overall "feel"bog thread machines, helps to mute the sound some and makes them generally "happier" or at least I think it does, they are not quieter per se, but the sound is smoother somehow. I think you will notice.

Laura, would you tell me what the last date is on your machine and the serial number? We just picked up an old free this weekend and it was complety frozen up but yesterday hubby got it to sew after 2 days work. The irons are ok but it was in a parlor cabinet that is toast. It sat outside for two years. Our daughter found it and brought it to us.
Your machine turned out really pretty. Hope to get some of ours looking as good as yours.
