Model 27 or 28, I need to measure the bed. It was modified to electric. It has the vibrating shuttle. <br /><br />My dad bought it in the fifties when he came to the US from Sweden. He used it to repair his clothes. His sister made slipcovers on it. I used it too.<br /><br />Your links for vintage machines also helped me to find out to clean it. <br /><br />I'm going to finish a pre-cut quilt kit my mom bought in the early seventies on it. It is full of cheddar! But it would be a nice tribute to my dad since he died this past March to use his machine to finish this for my mother.<br /><br />Thanks again!<br />Lynn from Maryland<br /><br />PS: I'm thinking of calling her Cleo for Cleopatra since she has the sphinx decal.

Many girls dresses, trousers, curtains etc. have been sewn on it and even the upholstery for a lounge suite. But never a quilt. It must be time to get it serviced and be the first to sew a quilt on her.<br />Gayle (also in NZ)Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127952632292067795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44807885233637476622013-07-01T01:50:57.186-04:002013-07-01T01:50:57.186-04:00Oh, Bonnie, what a sad saga.

Sheila's generosity with her Aunt Bradice's 99K is your good fortune as well. She (the 99K) stays in a long line of sweet people. <br />I am assuming you found the missing bag-o-quilts. I am hoping I just missed that in your post. <br />Again, rest well and know there are a world of quilters holding your best interests in their hearts.<br />~ Christina in Clevelandqueenopearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571558913677682583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-74869049150127708092013-06-30T19:40:53.087-04:002013-06-30T19:40:53.087-04:00Bonnie...our local airport is just like that one. ...Bonnie...our local airport is just like that one.

I noticed the wire showing through on the cord. I was wondering if I should buy it. I asked a friend of mine what she thought and she said not to. If I ever find a Featherweight at the thrift store, I`m buying it for sure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508400055811212160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25373175870343016052013-06-30T19:13:09.801-04:002013-06-30T19:13:09.801-04:00Main problem with them-they only serve peanuts on ...Main problem with them-they only serve peanuts on cross country flights!!!

They aren't busy enough to have an inside crew and an outside one. I have a friend who used to work for Northwest (now gone) and she one time let me slip on when I was running late! Must be why they want you at the airport so early!<br />Sorry about your missed connections! When I went to Tennessee the other week, my carry-on got checked basically empty as I removed my sewing machine and carried it on!
