So after you posted the actual Singer link the other day, I finally went ahead and but in the serial info. It was born in 1922 and is model 128. I just downloaded a manual but I'm a little nervous to turn it on. I have no idea how to use a shuttle bobbin. Maybe one day I'll try.<br />-debby, Chester NYDebby, crowefan0517https://www.blogger.com/profile/03173099763603663526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-54289805512647525562013-07-02T19:35:09.376-04:002013-07-02T19:35:09.376-04:00congratulations on the new arrival!

I have a Singer 115 with the Tiffany decal and I do call her "Tiffany". So...I have another name idea for your tiffany. How about "FAVRILE", pronounced fav-reel. Favrile glass is a type of iridescent art glass designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The little panes in the tiffany decal look like favrile glass...aren't they just so beautiful?! I'll try to email a photo tonight of my Owl 15-30 with a sewing project during QCam.

Here's a trick you and DH can use for chrome. Take a square of aluminum foil and crumple it up, not too tight, and rub the wheel, aluminum bumper on the car, (which I doubt that many people still have unless they've kept a classic car.) or anything chrome and it will make it shine like new.<br />So excited for you closing tomorrow! I know you'll enjoy your new second home.
