Also, I do NOT like the new format and having to continue to click to find the main idea of the day.
thank you"
Sewbusy commented on the blog post 'Pattern Tracing Tutorial'"architectural paper is the best (I think :) and you can iron it and it is sturdier than the pattern tissue paper and you can see through it, so you don't need a light source (glass door or window) and it does come in a huge roll (so split it…"
Sewbusy commented on the blog post 'FALL PEASANT DRESS'"great fabrics! thanks for sharing. I love "bargain" books too.

OLD machine
Posted on April 23, 2010 at 2:58pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
i just picked up an OLD Singer at an estate sale. it probably needs a new motor. The light works and it turns fine by hand. it also has an "ornate" foot pedal. the cabinet could use some refinishing. Can anyone tell me what to do next (and why) to get it back into working order.
thanks,
Sewbusy
