yum, when does dinner start

this guy is a psychopath and is creating nuisance on purpose , don’t feel guilty

i think the itching powder will be good

they were , I had to pull them apart then sand down the rough skin 😿

I don’t know what any of those weeds are 🫥

Never seem to line the ends up right.

That’s what the unpicker is for.

yup, a solid inner frame is the best. These old machines are very strong, the timing rarely goes out and they can sew through tough fabrics.

Reminds me of an “optical bench”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_table

The treadle I learnt on had zigzag, I remember using it to finish seam edges and to make buttonholes. I still remember the method for making buttonholes. Mark the ends of the hole with pins. Set the zigzag to maximum width, near zero length. Do about 10 stitches. Adjust zigzag to about 3 mm width, sew down one side of buttonhole, do the other end of the buttonhole, turn the fabric then do the second side. Finish the thread with a reverse knot , then cut. Very very carefully cut the buttonhole slit between the two sides of sewing.

great advice

that’s a lot of weeds. What kind do you have?

Thanks, it’s really been through the wars with all those knocks and scratches, it’s a machine after all!! 🐱 I learnt the bubbling veneer comes from the wood frame shrinking ever so slightly over the century

And terrifies me working near or on the treadle , it could easily break my fingers or wrist if it moves while I’m cleaning or painting

yeah, I love this design too . 🐱

where it didn’t have big patches of no finish it was black with 120 years of old wax, oil and dirt . I took most of that dirt off.

hope you feel real better soon

it’s a 1906 H series

it’s still a lot of money

o h ffs, i tried too fix my solar mushroom garden lamp with super glue. Lamp isn’t fixed and now I have dirt glued to my fingers

some pics of my old sewing machine after spending many hours refinishing the woodwork. It was so bad, it had huge patches where there no finish at all and much lifting and bubbling of veneer. It’s still really beat up. I haven’t waxed it yet which should help filling holes. Later today I’ll be having a go at using a tough wire brush on that base, the softer brush did nuttin’.

and some patina

Deeming comes across as having some pretty awful narcissistic tendencies. She’s in it for herself, not for the party and is playing victim while being a bully is one.

Unfortunately she is not part of a team and the other liberal psychos and narcs don’t want her.

I am glad I do not know these drop kicks.

so many hugs
