These are lined up on top of my cubbies. The one on the left is a Singer 237. The next one is a crinkle. It may be repainted but I'm not sure. The Singer decal is very faint but it is visible. For sure it's quite dirty and needs a thorough overhaul. The third one is a Singer treadle head, possibly a 66-1. I bought it so I could practice my cleaning-up methods before I work on the treadle in the cabinet. The one on the right is a Singer 404. It was damaged in transit by someone who packed it by just tossing it in a box with only a quick wrap of newspaper. The top of the case is split and broken and I still have to determine if the machine is ok.
On top of another cabinet is my "new" 301. *happy dance* I have a No. 42 art deco cabinet I hope to restore and install it in. I also have a No. 72 cabinet and two stools waiting for the same treatment. These are in the shed with all other extraneous furniture while we are "showing". Sigh...
On top of my treadle is a Morse. I had done research on all my machines and stuffed it in a book to be sorted. I think I need to sort it! I forget the details of this one. The treadle is in a cabinet No. 2. It needs some tender loving restoration but not too much.
Once I've practiced on the other treadle head I'll spiff up this one.
This is a kind of neat mid-century looking cabinet. And it holds a retro pink
Atlas machine. I haven't decided whether to keep it or not. I keep dithering about it. (send sympathy cards to The Tramp)
In the domed case
is this machine. It's so pretty. I need to give it some attention. Figuring out what model it is would be a start! LOL
This is a No. 74 Spinet (aka Trapezoid) cabinet.
And in it is my pride and joy....Mom's 201-2.
Oh! And I also have a Featherweight 221. How could I forget! For some reason, when this picture was taken, I was using it even though the Bernina 440 is sitting right there. I forget why. Mostly I take it to workshops.
I don't have, or can't find, a picture of the Juki TL98Q. Oh well. So what's the count? It seems to be 13! A good number to stop at! Though I wouldn't mind a Rocketeer! Shhhhhhhh! Who said that???
Through all this "excitement" the dogs are proving that it's only me who gets excited about the machines. We have Ivy behaving like a scatter rug.
Princess Maisy on her chair.
Ngaire being ever-patient.
And of course Ivy again always hoping for more!
