this may offend some people.....

 



The only notable event of 2015 would be finding this old treadle machine that I converted to a hand crank.

I will be refinishing the 4 drawer table as weather permits.

Get your sewing machine cleaned regularly

This machine is now having some issues.

 

 

Way past cleaning. May be doing harm........

6000 Series Husqvarna Viking

Pre 1980 Viking Husqvarna. The 6000 series

I have had the opportunity to work on several 6000 series Viking machines in the past year.



They are in a class of their own and do require some special handeling.

Every one that I have delt with has had a crack in the internal cam and needed to be replaced.

Other common problems are slugish operation, stuck in reverse and no zigzag.

Whatever Viking used for lubricant back then turned to glue over the years and needs to be completely cleaned and re-lubed. 

These machines are extremely popular to many seasoned sewers.

 

 

 

 

Just another Singer Model 66 Treadle Restoration

Here is another project that I just finished. Nothing fancy, just another classic Singer Treadle machine. I just love these machines. I was able to do this in 2 weeks. This included a complete table refinishing. Not my favorite thing to do, but I love it when it's done!













Singer 31-15 Industrial Machine, I think........

Here is a very old industrial machine that now sews some awsome stitches. Even though I couldn't find a serial number, It does appear to be a Singer 31-15.

It was in bad shape! The finish was chipped and repainted. A good clean and lube and this "Ugly Duckling" is sewing like a champ.

Sorry about the pictures. I hope you can see the great stitches here.
