It said that if you have machine(s) that have to sit not being used for a while and you live in maybe a somewhat damp area, chances are the machine could be suseptable to rusting. So, you know those little do-da bags that come in electronic's the ones that are to keep moisture out and say DO NOT EAT! Well, the person suggested that people put them into the case of their machine(s) and this will keep the moisture out and hopefully rust free! I think that you can get them at some electronic's stores too. Anyway, for all that it is worth I passed it on!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-23123824862436140212009-06-10T09:30:09.930-04:002009-06-10T09:30:09.930-04:00whee, fun buys. that quilt is great.whee, fun buys. that quilt is great.Tonya Ricuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778059489713831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83926878074715583082009-06-10T06:55:03.165-04:002009-06-10T06:55:03.165-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed our show!

I spent entirely too much time and money there myself.<br /><br />A friend of my daughter's told me she wanted to start learning to sew, but needed a machine.

That machine is still humming and my mother sewed all our clothes, did sewing for others, used it for sewing wool for braided rugs, etc. until she got her Pfaff 1222 in about 1970. I now own several 301s and it is one of my favorites along with my 1222s. I like it better than my featherweight. I took it to a quilt retreat and it was one of the quietest machines there! We also have zigzag and buttonhole attachments for it.Not Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450458967223521985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-379832982484413722009-06-09T11:42:07.597-04:002009-06-09T11:42:07.597-04:00I hope you feel better soon.
