Have to go look at it tomorrow, if it will work for what I want to do. Thanks.

That's a good idea, except that I don't have the fabric yet. Didn't want to get any until I got a machine. Can't get any today. Dh has gone over by a df and when he gets back, I have to be ready to leave for our car club. Not sure what to do.

(repeat)Looked at a really old White treadle yesterday. Would take alot of work but all the pieces are there and it's in it's cabinet. They are asking $100.00, is it worth it. sorry, no pics.

I would offer less and then see what they say. But in the end it is up to what it is worth to you. :D

Do White machines take a special needle? A friend has her mother's and would like to try to sew on it.

sewing with Nancy had a program with a gal who used her W&G to emblish her fan blocks, she used a thick thread and had the chain stich on the front of the block, was really nice! just an idea for those who use their machines.

What I learned. You can rub the shellac off with the goop. I stayed away from the decals so they are okay. But the bed looks bad with the remnants of the shellac. That is okay with me as not sure that I will keep this one....like Billy says, it has one of those tails. ;-)

And that is the real deal there all original with nothing altered. He shipped container loads of machines from Europe where he was stationed for years. He is the one that has the auction up for 3000+ machines in the one lot that has never sold. I have never bought anything he has but I know a few folks that have. And he is a real stand up guy.
