Don’t forget an empty wash in the washing machine. There may well be dye in the washing machine pump sump

That’s sounding like a result.
Might be wise to get a firm quote, so everyone is clear on the cost.

Have you got the name of the design, dress fabric and model number? An internet search and possible appeal for info on Pinterest and the like might just reveal some odd stock. A google picture search might be worth doing just in case another outlet has something. A phone call to the outlet asking them to contact the rep could be an option, or pressing the manager for the rep or factory number. What sort of outlet was it?
Good look, it’s an excellent choice though - I admire your choice

They have changed the name though, ‘hand made scissor ltd’ that doesn’t quite have the historical aspect

As you were describing the fabrics, some sound special. Have you thought about new collars for your very favourite shirt(s)?

Incidentally, Helen Howes was not impressed that I was going for this machine (in general) and tried to talk me out of it because of the plastic parts. She did say whatever I did, do not get one with a busted motor as she said they are impossible to get hold of. She was really helpful with getting other parts, and a case wouldn’t be a problem.
It’s interesting that in many of the adverts there was the chip on the fly wheel that was discribed above because of the case going on wrong.
Should be here Before February.
