Same for much of non-fiction - although I subdivide my homeschool books down even further by mathematics, science, etc. - and social studies by each area being studied done chronologically - then alphabetically by author (ie, Social studies, mesopotamia, author's name).<br /><br />Sounds like overkill - BUT I have more than 10,000 (yup - ten thousand!)books overall - and I have to do SOMETHING in order to find what I want WHEN I want!

My mother bought this machine for HERSELF on MY 16th birthday in 1956 - the same year your's was made! My present that year was a folding 2' x 5' table to use as a cutting table. I was also given permission to use her machine when she wasn't using it. I was given this machine when she bought herself one of the first Touch-N-Sew Singers. I used it for many, many years sewing for our 3 girls and 2 boys. I believe my oldest daughter still has this machine as a backup machine now. marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762380635062979088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19441523627461965742012-12-16T13:13:11.126-05:002012-12-16T13:13:11.126-05:00Love Freckles.

I happen to like my 301 far better than my featherweights. They do make a lovely stitch and that slanted needle does help. They have a cute factor going for them also.

I organize my books by genre: applique, pieced, specialized (thread play, etc.) When I worked in a library a customer came in the children's room and asked for the silver book. Honest to God, that's what she said. Miraculously I found the one she wanted b/c she said it was about a trumpet. LOLSharon J.

The best story of 301's I have is.....I wanted a queen anne's cabinet off ebay. I bought it for $80.00 plus another 30 for shipping. No mention of a machine. When it arrived...you guessed it! There was a black 301! Not only was it a 301 but it has a centennial badge! It is also spotless! No scratches...marks..I don't think it was ever used! I was offered $8,000.00 for it! Not bad for a not so nice sewing cabinet that I gave to my friend because I didn't really like it when it came! I still have the machine and the offer still stands...in fact he still emails me and asks how his machine is doing....and would I sell it if he ups the ante?! How is that for dumb luck?!<br /><br />Sue n.e.

My mom has a 400 series Singer (one with cams) that ran very slow and the shop she took it to for repairs said the motor was blown. I can't help but wonder from reading your blog and some of the comments if it doesn't need a good oil/grease job. Maybe I'll give that a try when I visit her next (we live 700 miles apart).Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610078566703525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-68056244007297338392012-12-15T20:30:29.649-05:002012-12-15T20:30:29.649-05:00I found Freckles "twin" at Goodwill a co...I found Freckles "twin" at Goodwill a couple of months ago.

I try to do everything digital if I can. I even put off subscribing to quilting magazines until I discovered they come in pdf format. Yay! I love books and having book cases to admire them. We moved into a tine house about 8 years ago to be near the grand kids and have no room for anything! You walk into my craft room and walk back out and that is it. We have a two butt kitchen--get more than one person in there and you bump butts. Oh, well, it's worth it to be near the kids. I love Quilt Cam and will miss it when you start traveling again.path7401https://www.blogger.com/profile/03621702507191811853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-6642263080475759362012-12-15T14:18:20.188-05:002012-12-15T14:18:20.188-05:00Here is the link: http://www.collectorz.com/book/...Here is the link: http://www.collectorz.com/book/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512084436887661864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-49608481012285843622012-12-15T14:16:22.962-05:002012-12-15T14:16:22.962-05:00My daughter is a librarian who is job-hunting.

For the simple reason if I want to make a quilt with stars, then all the star books are together, if I want to do paper piecing all those are together. But then there are books like yours and Jason Yenter, that they all go together by author. I group those together in one area.
