bigmommasally Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Just been having a little play, she stitches perfect with a lovely little clicking sound. Just think on sunny days I'll be able to sew in the garden Haven't got a name for her yet, I need a nice pretty 1930's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachelk Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Golly I have got one of those in my loft, all housed in a wooden case. Didn't know that there was still interest in them! Perhaps I should resurrect it ................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Or what about Pearl? (Pearls a Singer - geddit? )I know - groan Think that might be a winner, Thanks for all the other suggestions. I'm hoping to get some time with her this weekend but have to do job application first before I'm allowed to play Rachelk - you must get yours out the loft if you want help cleaning her up etc there is a great section on the sewing forum for vintage machines. http://www.thesewingforum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Gosh - how exciting! I've posted elsewhere about how I had my mum's (actually my grandmother's) Frister & Rossman hand machine serviced last year, it works beautifully although sadly hasn't had much use yet. I've got an old Singer that I bought as a student, before I inherited mum's machine, and been wondering what to do with it - it didn't occur to me anyone would want it. For anyone in Essex, I can recommend a marvellous Machine Man. That looks fabulous BMS - and I think Pearl is a brilliant name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
