Vintage Machines / Re: It would be rude not to

It's serial number says it's a 27K and was made between January and June 1908, it's a common one methinks as it was 'the woman's faithful friend the world over'
It also has vibrating shuttle technology (the machine I learnt to sew on had one of those and I remembered how to thread it)
I love reading all these things from a very different era, I am glad I rescued it and I will use it, just because I can, the stitch from my sample is lovely, it might only do lockstitch, but sometimes that is all you need. Obviously only when I am not in a hurry, as it is an experience to be savoured. I love the sound of a hand crank.
Can you tell I am very very happy with it
(also DH can't complain because in this house I have my very own, all mine, sewing space )
