    Yea! I love that name! From now on my 1953 black FW will be known as Monica! Perfect name for her!

    Meeting would be great, but I don't get that way very often unless I am going to some kind of horse event!

    AAAWWW!!! I was just kidding, I hate my name! LOL
    I vote for Penni! If I knew what your name was Vintagemotif, I would name my 1953 FW after you since you found that one for me! My Davis VF you found for me, I'd still call Betty. That suits her!

    I also have a couple of older ladies I could bring for a show and tell.

    Don't know if you mean the thread tension or guide. Please post picture. And I'm sure Billy could help you with this. Talking about Billy, where is our leader of the band?

    I would love to meet many people and share stories. Maybe a show some time some where.

    Pretty machine! Congrats!

    I keep saying Miz Johnny's house. That would be fun, a meet up! But I wouldn't be able to drag my machines with me to show off. So, one of my quilts that I have pieced and quilted with my vintage machines would have to do.

    Can't swear to it, but after chatting with Billy on another thread, he may be out of town for a few days. I'll bet he's got a computer with him and you'll hear from him soon.

    Hello, My name is Catharina,

    I am an immigrant from the Netherlands.

    I own an old Singer threadle machine and would like to find out if there is a place where I can buy parts.

    Any assist welcome.

    Thank you very much.

    I really wish they wouldn't do things like that! The poor machines have a bad case of pin rash under that piece of cloth. :(
